Please help me. How do you determine the physical states of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction if they are not previously given to you?

My chemisty book has a Solubiltiy Chart in which, my teacher says, you can use to help. But, frankly, it does more harm than good.

Is there any way to determine this or should i just rely on my own good instincts (guessing) and the intenet???

I normally just use common sense and based on the chemistry that I already know.  For example, in common situation, you can't have two solid reacting, unless there's a medium or solvent.  Solvents are always liquid.  Salts are either solid or aqueous, unless they are molten/melts.  Organic compounds are usually liquid or solid.
