Hello all,
I am currently in possession of two chemistry textbooks, Changs and Atkins, which I believe are both fairly new versions. Changs defines STP at 25 degrees Celsius and 1 atm, and Atkins defines STP at 25 degrees Celsius and 1 bar; I understand that numerically it would not make a huge difference (1 atm=101.3 kpa=almost 100 kpa), but which is technically correct?
Thanks.
