Redox and states

Sometimes the textbook says sometimes it says ... i.e. sometimes products are aqueous sometimes solid. How can you tell what it's actually going to be? I heard in class ion are usually meant to be aqueous but that doesn't really make sense either because when a metal bar oxidises it doesn't look very 'aqueous'.  :idiot2: thanks

The rust of an iron bar is a precipitate. So yeah, the ion would be in a solid state, binding with another ion from the other half-equation.

It depends on the situation.
