Question

Difference between standard state and reference state

Answer 1

${\texttt{\huge{\purple{\underline{ANSWER :-}}}}}$

The standard state, also known as reference state, of an element is defined as its thermodynamically most stable state at 1 bar at a given temperature (typically at 298.15 K). In thermochemistry, an element is defined to have an enthalpy of formation of zero in its standard state.
