  • Calculating Pressure and Temperature Changes to STP: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to determine the pressure and temperature changes when a gas is changed from 380 torr and 546 K to STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure):

    Understanding STP

    * Standard Pressure: 1 atmosphere (atm) = 760 torr

    * Standard Temperature: 273.15 K (0°C)

    Calculations

    1. Pressure Change:

    * The initial pressure is 380 torr.

    * The final pressure at STP is 760 torr.

    * Change in pressure: 760 torr - 380 torr = 380 torr increase

    2. Temperature Change:

    * The initial temperature is 546 K.

    * The final temperature at STP is 273.15 K.

    * Change in temperature: 273.15 K - 546 K = -272.85 K decrease

    Summary

    To change the gas from 380 torr and 546 K to STP, you need to:

    * Increase the pressure by 380 torr.

    * Decrease the temperature by 272.85 K.
