STP temp for MCAT

[deleted647690]

Is STP temp 0 degrees C or 25 degrees C? I see 0 degrees C for a question in BR, but I think I read somewhere else in BR that STP was 25 C

0C, 273K

STP is chemically defined as 273 K. The MCAT writers can't just arbitrarily re-define it.

The temperature for stp is always 0 Celsius. What you are remembering with the 25 however is the temperature for standard state conditions which is different than stp. Hope this helps
