Temp Assumption

[Elena Liu 2J]

When not given the temperature, am I supposed to assume room temp (298 K) or STP (273K)?

[Tavish M 2A]

You should only assume this if it is given that the system is at standard conditions.

[Destiny Caldwell 3J]

When the temperature is not specified, it's important to consider the context of the problem and the conditions being discussed. Room temperature is if the problem involves everyday situations or laboratory experiments conducted at room temperature, assuming 298 K might be appropriate. STP is commonly used in gas law calculations and standardization of experimental conditions.

Hello,
When going through a problem its best not to assume the temperature unless they explicitly state it. If they don't tell you the temperature odds are that you're probably going to use a different formula that doesn't require that.
