I want to write out the formula for the aqueous carbonate ion using the mhchem package. If I write out CO3^{2-}, it looks the way it should be. (See image.)
However, I want to write out: CO3^{2-}_{(aq)}. The 2- charge gets shifted along to the right of the (aq) state symbol. (See image.)
Is there any means of fixing this?
