Question

what is the correct chemical formula to show water in the solid phase? a. h2o (l) b. h2o (s) c. h2o (aq) d. h2o (sp)

Answer 1

b.h20 (s) dihydrogen monoxide

Answer 2

b. h2o (s)

Step-by-step explanation:

The phase in which the compound is found is put in parenthesis so:

h2o (l) means water in liquid phase

h2o (s) means water in solid phase

h2o (aq) means water in aqueous solution, i.e. the compound dissolved in water, which doesn’t apply to water

h2o (sp) doesn’t exist

and h2o (g) means water in gas phase
