Please correct the above definition. 273°K would be 0°C and that is incorrect for standard temperature. It should read 20°C of 293.16°K.
 
 
Standard pressure is certainly considered to be one atmosphere but that is too broad a statement for scientific work. Standard pressure for one atmosphere is normally defined as one atmosphere at 76 cm of Mercury or 760 mm of Mercury which more precisely defines the actual pressure since the atmospheric pressure can vary quite widely with various weather conditions.
