What is standard pressure I know that it is 0*C at and
pressure is 100kPa but why use
it?
(Or 273 *K at 100kPa) is this
because pressure and
temperature are proportional
to find volume?

Yes, commonly called STP. It's used because gas volumes vary with both temp and pressure, so to compare like with like, you have to specify a common set of conditions. Freezing point and atmospheric pressure are as convenient as any. But Americans also use NTP (normal temp and press.) - I believe that means 60°F but don't rely on that. |

How do you convert STP STP stands for standard
temperature and pressure.
How would I convert it to
units of kelvin / inches of
mercury?

STP is 25 degrees C and 760 mm Hg (1 atmosphere of pressure) 25 degrees C is: 273.15 degrees K plus 25 = 298.15 degrees K 760 mm Hg = 406.79372 in h20 |

What is the pressure at A gas has a pressure of 0.370
atm at 50.0

the equation is (starting pressure)/(starting temperature) = (ending pressure)/(ending temperature) Substitute in: 0.370 atm / 323 K = X atm / 273 K, where X is ending pressure 0.370 atm * 273 K / 323 K = X atm 0.313 atm = X (ending pressure) |
