  Standard conditions for temperature and pressure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry and other sciences, STP or standard temperature and pressure is a standard set of conditions for experimental measurements, to enable comparisons to be made between sets of data.
In industry and commerce, it is necessary to define the standard reference conditions of temperature and pressure when expressing a gas volume or a volumetric flow rate because the volume of a gas varies with the temperature and pressure of the gas.
In aeronautics and fluid dynamics the term "International Standard Atmosphere" is often used to denote the variation of the principal thermodynamic variables (pressure, temperature, density, etc.) of the atmosphere with altitude at mid latitudes.

Under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, and also at higher temperatures and lower pressures, the behavior of most real gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide is that predicted by the gas laws and the kinetic molecular theory.
However, as the temperature of a gas is decreased, the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases, their movement becomes more sluggish, and the attractive forces that exist between real molecules play a larger role in determining the behavior of the sample.
Likewise, if the pressure is increased and the volume decreased until the volume of the space between the molecules approximates the volume of the molecules themselves, the molecules can no longer act as the wholly independent particles postulated by the kinetic molecular theory.

 Pressure altitude - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In aviation, pressure altitude is the indicated altitude when an altimeter is set to 1013 hPa (29.92 inHg US and Canada).
It is primarily used in aircraft performance calculations, and in high-altitude flight (Class A airspace in the United States, which is controlled airspace at or above 18,000 feet).
The relation between static pressure and pressure altitude is defined in terms of the properties of the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA).

 Clathrates - little known components of the global carbon cycle
Clathrates occur wherever the conditions within the sediments are in the methane-clathrate stability field, and where methane and water are available (Fig.
This stability is limited by temperature and pressure: gas hydrates are stable at low temperatures and/or high pressures.
Because of the requirements of pressure and temperature, and because of requirement of relatively large amounts of organic matter for bacterial methanogenesis, clathrates are mainly restricted to two regions: 1.

Hint 1: Standard Conditions Standard conditions are necessary for most quantitative determinations in chemistry.
Hint 3: Non-Standard Conditons Many chemical determinations are made under standard conditions of temperature, pressure, and/or concentration, and can, in most cases, be ignored from the calculations.
In a quantitative experiment, this would yield a mean value with a low standard deviation (the average distance away of each of the values from the average of all the values).

 Chemistry 30 Equilibrium - Effect of Changing Volume and Pressure
You may remember from earlier chemistry classes that equal volumes of gases contain an equal number of particles and, under standard conditions of temperature and pressure (STP), one mole of gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L. This is known as the molar volume of gases.
If you increase the pressure of a system at equilibrium (typically by reducing the volume of the container), the stress will best be reduced by reaction favouring the side with the fewest moles of gas, since fewer moles will occupy the smallest volume.
Increasing the pressure favours the side with the fewest moles of gas, so the equilibrium will shift to the left (the reverse reaction will be favoured).
