What are the phases (s,l,g) of: HCl, HNO3, CH3COOH, NaOH, and NH3 without the inclusion of water?

Question

Can you give your reasoning for each one and put them in order of strength.

Answer 1

First I think you need to know what theses are..
Hcl is hydrochloric acid which is a liquid when in water,but if not in water it is hydrogenchloride,a gas.
NAOH is sodium hydroxide and it can be in liquid(AQ-with water) or pure solid form which is white.
HNO3 is nitric acid and can come in a white crystalline(solid) form or a liquid-acids are usually (AQ) or aqueous-dissolved in water.
NH3 is ammonia and is found in a lot of cleaning supplies-a liquid but this is with water..without water it is a noxious gas.
CH3COOH is acteic acid and without water it is called glacial acetic acid-when it attracts water from the environment(hygroscopy) it freezes to form a colorless crystalline solid.It is corrosive and is famous for giving vinegar a funny smell.
Hope this helps. Good Luck!

Answer 2

HCl (g) - gas
HNO3(l) - liquid
CH3COOH (l) - liquid
NaOH(s) - solid
NH3(g) - gas

All these substances will dissolve in water whereupon their phase will be described as aqueous(aq).
