Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For pure liquids and solids, their standard state is the substance itself, not a specific concentration. Therefore, statement A is incorrect as the standard state for a pure liquid is the liquid itself, not necessarily at a concentration of 1M. The standard state for solutes is generally 1M, and for gases, it is 1 atmosphere.
