Question #9e386

Answer 1

Usually liquid (l), but not aqueous (aq), because this refers to a solution in water, not to the water itself.

Explanation:

In general a neutralization goes like:

`H^+(aq) + OH^(-)(aq) ->H_2O(l)`

or more correctly:

`H_3O^+(aq) + OH^(-)(aq) ->2H_2O(l)`

But some reactions may create so much heat, that the water will vent off as steam (g).
