Solution

The correct option is B

NH3(s)+HCl (aq)NH4Cl (s)


While writing a chemical equation, letters are used in brackets or subscripts next to the chemical formulae to specify the physical state of the reactants and the products.

- s is for solids

- l is for liquids

- g is for gas

- aq is for aqueous solution

The reaction in which the physical state of the reactants or the product is not correctly represented is:

NH3(s)+HCl (aq)NH4Cl (s)

This is because ammonia (NH3) is a gas.
