The term "standard state" refers to a specific set of conditions used as a reference point in thermodynamics, particularly in the fields of chemistry and materials science. It is essential for defining properties of substances and for comparing their thermodynamic data. The standard state of a substance is typically defined under the following conditions: 1. **Temperature**: 25 degrees Celsius (298.15 K). 2. **Pressure**: 1 atmosphere (101.3 kPa).
