Looks like a spam message, doesn't it?  ;D  ;)

Yep. And chemicool link is duplicated, so it looks even more spammy to me  :D

I was trying to make a point, but you are right. After looking at this an hour later I thought it was Spam :) until I saw the author.

The molecular weight and density of common gases
Some values like air may be slightly rounded

http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/gas-density-d_158.html

It is interesting that the above site has the following definitions
1) NTP - Normal Temperature and Pressure - is defined as air at 20oC (293.15 K, 68oF) and 1 atm ( 101.325 kN/m2, 101.325 kPa, 14.7 psia, 0 psig, 30 in Hg, 760 torr)

2) STP - Standard Temperature and Pressure - is defined as air at 0oC (273.15 K, 32oF) and 1 atm (101.325 kN/m2, 101.325 kPa, 14.7 psia, 0 psig, 30 in Hg, 760 torr)

    * 1 lb/ft3 = 16.018 kg/m3
    * 1 kg/m3 = 0.0624 lb/ft3

We have had many discussions as to the meaning of STP and the confusion it causes for questions in various educational settings

You miss out the Standard Ambient Temperature and Pressure (SATP), ie. 25oC at 1bar, which is often used in Chemical Calculations.

Employees should do one thing: walk over there and you step on the friggin� snake." - Jean-Pierre Garnier, CEO of Glaxosmithkline, June 2006
