STP stands for Standard Temperature and Pressure and is used to compare volumes of gases.
It is = 1 atm(atmosphere) of pressure at 0 degrees celsius or 273.15 K.
@ STP= 22.4 L IS EQUAL TO 1 MOLE OF GAS
The two conversion factors are:
1 mol of gas/ 22.4 L & 22.4 L / 1 mol of gas
Here are some examples:
A cylinder contains 14.05 moles of gas at STP. What is the volume of the gas?
14.05 moles x 22.4 L/1 mol = 315 L
