Standard potential
Standard potential
The voltage associated with a half-reaction of a specific redox reaction. Generally tabulated as a
reduction potential, compared to the SHE.
Standard temperature and pressure (STP)
Standard temperature and pressure (STP)
0°C (273 K) and 1 atm. Used for measuring gas volume and density.State
State
The set of defined macroscopic properties of a system that must be specified in order to
reproduce the system exactly. Sometimes also used as a synonym for Phase.
State function
State function
A function that depends on the state of a system but not on the path used to arrive at that state.Strong acid

An acid that undergoes complete dissociation in an aqueous solution; e.g., HCl.Strong base
Strong base
A base that undergoes complete dissociation in an aqueous solution; e.g., KOH.Sublimation
