H2O (g) as it is water but just a gas Ice would be similar but just with a change of state symbol,
Correction - water vapour/steam has the chemical formula of 7H20 , and it water has never been broken down to H20 although it is generally assumed

The chemical equation for the formation of water vapor is H2O (liquid) → H2O (gas). When water is heated, it evaporates and turns into water vapor.
The chemical formula of water is H2O; to specify that this water is as a gas we can write H2O(g).
Water vapour is water in one of its several physical forms. The formula is the same regardless of the form:
H2O
The chemical equation for the combustion of fossil fuels, like gasoline, can be represented by CxHy + O2 -> CO2 + H2O. This equation shows that when fossil fuels are burned, they react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Water vapor is a physical state of water where it exists as a gas. It is not a chemical property or change because the composition of water remains the same when it changes from liquid to vapor.
No, the condensation of water vapor is a physical change. It involves the transition of water vapor to liquid water without any change in the chemical composition of water molecules.
The chemical equation for burning propane in a grill is: C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3 CO2 + 4 H2O. This equation represents the combustion of propane, where propane (C3H8) reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) as products.
The balanced chemical equation for a burned candle is C25H52 (wax) + O2 (oxygen) -> CO2 (carbon dioxide) + H2O (water) + heat. This represents the combustion reaction that occurs when a candle burns, turning the wax and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water vapor, and releasing heat.
