title: Relation between volume correction and the standard state.
abstract: The suggestion by Sharp et al. (Biochemistry 30 (1991) 9686) that a volume correction should be made to the standard chemical potential of a non-polar solute molecule in water is examined by re-deriving their results using an exact statistical mechanical procedure and comparing them with those of a couple of other similar schemes. It is shown that their suggestion is equivalent to choosing a standard state based on the ideal gas behavior.
