Question

What do the symbols in parenthesis indicate?

CaCl2(aq) + 2AgNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2AgCl(s)

Answer 1

Hi there.

(aq) means something is aqueous. (s) stands for solid.

The symbols in the parenthesis mean CaCl2 at the start is aqueous, and 2AgNO3 is aqueous.

At the end, Ca(NO3)2 is aqueous, and 2AgCl is solid.

Hope this helps!
