    • Pressure:
      • [1] standard pressure \(10^{5} \mathrm{~N m}^{-2}
    • States:
      • Solids:
        • pure solids
      • Liquids:
        • pure liquids
      • Gases:
        • ideal gas at standard pressure
    • Solutions:
      • Simple Solution
      • Solvent: pure liquid
      • Solute: ideal solution at unit molality; \(1 \mathrm{~mol kg}^{-1}\)
    • Process/Change [2,3,4] \(\Delta_{\text {proc }} X^{0}\)
    • Subscript ‘proc’ indicates the process. Examples include
      • \(\mathrm{f} =\) formation
      • \(\mathrm{c} =\) combustion
      • \(\mathrm{vap} =\) vaporisation
      • \(\mathrm{r} =\) chemical reaction
      • \(\mathrm{soln} =\) solution]
      • \(\neq =\) activation; an attempt to represent the classic double dagger symbol suggested by Eyring . The symbol is written as a superscript; e.g. \(\Delta^{\neq} V^{0}=\) standard volume of activation.
    • Example; \(\Delta_{\mathrm{c}} \mathrm{H}^{0}=\) standard enthalpy of combustion.
