Answer:

STP values are most often cited for gases because their characteristics change dramatically with temperature and pressure. One common definition of STP is a temperature of 273 K (0° Celsius or 32° Fahrenheit) and the standard pressure of 1 atm. Under these conditions, one mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L.
