The way you can figure out what you're looking at is by looking at what is in parentheses:
(g)=gas (l)=liquid , or very concentrated (highmol soluteL solution )(s)=solid , or precipitate if within a reaction
The above are all phases, though
Anything else specifies a solvent that the solute dissolves in (or a liquid that another liquid mixes with to form a liquid-liquid mixture), which is another way of saying that it is a solution:
