The state of liquid (l) refers to the matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape as it takes the shape of its container. On the other hand, the state of aqueous (aq) refers specifically to a substance dissolved in water, where the substance is uniformly mixed with water molecules at the molecular level to form a solution.
(aq)- aqueous: Is when you dissolve something into waterEx. NaCl(s) into Na+(aq) Cl- (aq)-So it changes from a solid into aqueous ions.-Acids are mainly aqueous(l)- Liquid: On a molecular level the molecules of a liquid are arranged, or ordered somewhere between the order of a solid and the randomness of a gas.-The main difference would be that at an aqueous state, something is already dissolved into it to create a different substance
In the reaction, the compound in the liquid state is water (H2O).
Balanced Molecular Equation:HNO2(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaNO2(aq) + H2O(l)Complete Ionic Equation: HNO2 (aq) + Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq)Na+ (aq) + NO2- (aq) + H2O (l)Net Ionic Equation: HNO2 (aq) + OH- (aq)NO2- (aq) + H2O (l)
The balanced equation for nitric acid and calcium hydroxide is 2HNO3(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l). The physical state of the reactants and products are shown in parentheses: (aq) signifies aqueous solution, and (l) denotes liquid.
HClO4(aq) + NaOH(aq) → H2O(l) + NaClO4(aq) Ionic Equation: H+ + ClO4- + Na+ + OH- → H2O + Na+ + ClO4-
