Essentially, standard state is the reference point for a substance in order to formulate said substance's properties under different conditions. To determine if a substance is in its standard state, look to see if its properties satisfies certain conditions, such as being (commonly) 25 degrees Celsius, being pure (if involving liquids/solids), all gases being at 1 atm, solutions having a concentration of 1M at 1 atm, and if the elements are in their most stable phase. I hope this helps clarify a bit!

Standard state is usually at 25 celsius, always gases at 1 atm, pure substance for solids and liquids, solutions at 1M, and elements in their most stable phase.

A standard state is basically a reference point for a substance in order to define how the substance is different under different condition. Standard states are common conditions such as 25 degrees celsius temperature

The usually most commonly referenced points of standard state is 25 degrees Celcius, all gases at 1 atm, and all elements at 1M.

I think what you are asking is when to know whether the standard state for a compound is a gas, solid, or liquid. I believe this is a matter of memorizing them.

standard state is the reference point
