b. the substance is in the liquid state.

c. the substance is produced last in the reaction.

e. the substance is lost at the end of the reaction,

A. The substance is in a liquid state

Explanation:

I believe you meant to type (|) not (/)

I don't think (/) is in chemistry

the attachment of (l) immediately after the chemical symbol of a substance implies that the substance is in liquid state.

Explanation:

For example, in a neutralization reaction:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) > NaCl(aq) + H2O (l)

The (l) shows that water is in the liquid state. Metals and ionic solids can also be heated and turned into liquid state. This often occurs during electrolysis of molten salts to obtain a metal.
