Lesson 16: STP

STP: Standard Temperature & Pressure 

  • At a specific pressure and temperature, one mole of any gas occupies the same volume. 
  • At 0 degrees Celsius and 101.3 kPa   ->  1 mol = 22.41 
  • This temperature and pressure is called STP
  • 22.4 L/mol is the molar volume at STP
How many litres will 2.3 mol of O2 occupy at STP? 
(2.3 mol) (22.4 L/1 mol) = 51.52 = 52 L 

Loureal's Awesome Gas Company is found to occupy 12.1 L at STP.
How many moles of gas are there? 
(12.1 L) (1 mol/22.4 L) =  0.54 mol 


22.4 L/mol   such a magical number <3
