aqueous solutions have water as the solvent, however, a liquid could be anything in it's liquid form

Answer 4

I think there's no harm to use those abbreviations if that information is provided. Also, the abbreviations are particularly useful when you're dealing with/using the equation to find entropies or properties specific to the state of the element.
