The easiest way to approach this is to remember molar volume: one mole of every (ideal) gas will occupy 22.4 liters at STP - a gas occupies 22.4 L/mol.
Since we know that, we can set up a simple proportion that follows the thought process: if one mole of a gas occupies 22.4 liters (at STP), then 2.88 grams of methane occupies x liters.
But before we do that, we have a problem: the measurement given is in the wrong units - it is in grams when molar volume is in moles. Therefore, we first need to convert 2.88 grams of methane to moles. To do this, we need the molar mass of the compound - the sum of all the atomic masses involved.
Carbon = 12.0 grams
Hydrogen = 1.01 grams × 4 atoms = 4.04 grams
-------------------------------------------------------------
Methane = 16.04 grams
To convert grams to moles:
Grams of substance ÷ Molar mass (in grams) = Moles of substance
2.88 grams CH4 ÷ 16.04 grams CH4 = 0.180 moles CH4
Now we follow through with our proportion:
22.4 L/1 mol = x L/.180 mol
x = 4.03 L
2.88 grams of methane occupies 4.03 liters at STP

How many molecules are in 30 liters of methane (CH4) at STP?
How many molecules are in 30 liters of methane (CH4) at STP
What volume occupied by 1.50 moles of CH4 at STP is?
The amount of oxygen is 0,067 moles.
What is the volume in milliliters of 0.0100 mol of ch4 gas at stp?
One mole has a volume of 22.4l.So the volume is 224ml
What volume will be occupied by 132 grams of propane at stp?
This volume is 65,68 L.
If 50 l of gaseous CH4 is burned at STP what volume of 02 is required for complete combustion and what volume of CO2 is produced?
CH4 + 2 O2 -> CO2 + 2 H2O So for every L of CH4 you need 2 L of O2 So for 50L of CH4 you need 100L O2

What volume is occupied of 2.4 moles of chlorine?
54 liters at STP (standard temperature and pressure)
What volume is occupied of 0.48 moles of hydrogen?
0.48 liters at STP (standard temperature and pressure)
What is the volume occupied by 0.155 g of boron trifluoride at stp?
Density: BF3 = 0.00276 g/cm3 (anhydrous gas)Volume: 0.155 (g) / 0.00276 (g/cm3) = 56.16 = 56.2 cm3 (gas volume at STP)
What is the volume occupied by 7.40 g of NH3 at STP using the van Der Waal's equation of state?
9.75 L
What is the weight of one litre of methane under standard conditions?
Molecular formula for methane is CH4.. Then, molecular mass of methane = 12 + 4 x 1 = 16 u. 1 mole of methane = 16 g = 22.4 L at STP. Therefore, weight of one litre of methane = 16/22.4 g = 0.714 g.
