title: Standard states and thermochemical kinetics in heterogeneous atmospheric chemistry.
abstract: The significance of the (often implicit) choice of standard state in the analysis and interpretation of heterogeneous chemical processes is not well acknowledged. This paper attempts to illuminate how the specific choice of standard state influences the numerical values of the parameters obtained from such analysis. Examples are drawn from air-solution and air-surface equilibria.
