How do you calculate standard temperature and pressure?

Solution

Step 1: First define the standard temperature and pressure.
A standard condition of an environment for a chemical reaction to proceed then the standard temperature and pressure (STP) is maintained.
The standard conditions are defined by the following elements:
The standard temperature is $273.15 K = 0 ° C = 32 ° F$ .It is the same as the freezing point for pure water.
The standard pressure is $1 a t m = 760 T o r r = 760 m m H g = 101.35 k P a$ . It is same as the pressure of $1$ atmosphere.
The Standard pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury (symbol Hg) $760 m m$ high, often designated $760 m m$ Hg.
$1 m o l$ of an ideal gas in these conditions has a volume of $22.4 L i t e r s$ .
STP is often used for measuring gas density and volume.
Step 2: Use the formula to show the way to calculate the standard temperature and pressure
The standard conditions calculations are based on the ideal gas law formula: $P V = n R T$ ,
The other equations that might be useful in calculating the STP situations are:
Gay-Lussac's law: $P_{1} T_{1} = P_{2} T_{2}$ ,
Charles's law: $V_{1} T_{1} = V_{2} T_{2}$ and
Boyle's law: $P_{1} V_{1} = P_{2} V_{2}$ .
