Correct Option: B

Here's how to solve this problem:

  1. Calculate the molar mass of CH₄:

    • C = 12 g/mol
    • H = 1 g/mol, and there are 4 H atoms, so 4 * 1 = 4 g/mol
    • Molar mass of CH₄ = 12 + 4 = 16 g/mol
  2. Determine the moles of CH₄:

    • Given: 8 g of CH₄
    • Moles = mass / molar mass = 8 g / 16 g/mol = 0.5 mol
  3. Use the given information to find the volume of 1 mole of a gas at STP: *
