STP stands for Standard Temperature and Pressure. It is defined as 273K at 1 atmosphere pressure.
All temperatures used in problems with gasses must use the Kelvin (absolute) temperature scale.
To convert from degrees C to degrees Kelvin, remember "K is C plus 273" (degrees C + 273 = K)
1 atmosphere of pressure can also be expressed as 101.3 Kilopascals, or 760mmHg (millimeters of mercury).
