Values relative to the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). (Source: Wikipedia)
 T0 = 298.15 K (25.00°C)
 p0 = 1.01325 bar = 1 atm (most literature data are at 1 atm, despite the current standard of 1 bar)
 activity a = 1 or pure solid, pure liquid, or for water
 for ionic species dissolved in water, a = 1 =  ∙ c / c0, where c0 = 1 mol/L
