Which of the following are incorrect conditions for STP? $$ 00^{\circ} \mathrm{F} $$ and 1 atm 273 K and 760 torr $$ 0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} $$ and 101.3 kPa

Question

Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) can have different definitions based on the context or the organization setting the standards. The most commonly referenced definitions are:

1. **Older Definition (Often Used in Chemistry):**
   - **Temperature:** $$0^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$$ (273.15 K)
   - **Pressure:** 1 atm (760 torr or 101.325 kPa)

2. **IUPAC Definition (1982):**
   - **Temperature:** 273.15 K
   - **Pressure:** 100 kPa

Let's evaluate each of the provided conditions:

1. **$$00^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$$ and 1 atm**
   - **Temperature Conversion:** $$00^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$$ equals approximately $$-17.78^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$ or $$255.37 \, 	ext{K}$$.
   - **Assessment:** The temperature is significantly below both the older and IUPAC standard temperatures. **This condition is incorrect for STP.**

2. **273 K and 760 torr**
   - **Conversion Details:**
     - 273 K is effectively $$0^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$$.
     - 760 torr is exactly 1 atm.
   - **Assessment:** This aligns with the older chemistry definition of STP. **This condition is correct for STP.**

3. **$$0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$ and 101.3 kPa**
   - **Assessment:** While $$0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$ matches both definitions, the pressure of 101.3 kPa isn't aligned with the IUPAC standard (which is 100 kPa) but does match the older chemistry standard (1 atm ≈ 101.325 kPa). Since $$101.3 \, 	ext{kPa}$$ is very close to 1 atm, **this condition is generally considered correct for traditional STP definitions**, though it's slightly off from the precise IUPAC standard.

**Conclusion:**
- **Incorrect Condition:** $$00^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$$ and 1 atm.
- **Generally Correct Conditions:** 
  - 273 K and 760 torr.
  - $$0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$ and 101.3 kPa.

**Final Answer:**
Only the first condition is incorrect.  
•  00 °F and 1 atm is not a valid set of STP conditions.
Only $$00^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$$ and 1 atm are incorrect STP conditions.

Which of the following are incorrect conditions for STP? \( 00^{\circ} \mathrm{F} \) and 1 atm 273 K and 760 torr \( 0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) and 101.3 kPa
