Referenzzustands
A Referenzzustand, or reference state, is a concept used in various scientific and engineering disciplines to establish a baseline or standard condition against which other states or conditions can be compared. The term is often used in thermodynamics, chemistry, and materials science, among other fields.
In thermodynamics, a reference state is typically chosen as a convenient point from which to calculate changes
In chemistry, a reference state is used to define standard conditions for chemical reactions. These conditions
In materials science, a reference state might refer to the initial condition of a material before it
The choice of reference state is crucial as it affects the calculations and interpretations of experimental
