Take the tour ×  For gases, the reference volume in molecular
calculations is usually understood to be 24.5 L whereas in
solution, the reference volume usually is considered to be 1 L.
The free energy corrections from common computational chemistry
programs (e.g. Gaussian or GAMESS) is usually with reference to
1 mol/24.5L and so I wonder how to correctly convert to the
solution reference.  If I want the translational free energy
with reference to 1 L at $T=298 K$, is it correct to calculate
it as  $$ G_{trans}(1L) = G_{trans}(24.5L) - RT \ln(24.5) ? $$
