We know, mole of gas in ideal conditions is 22.414 L
Here, CH4 volume = 8.9L

So, number of moles = 8.9 / 22.414 = 0.397 moles
Here, in balanced equation we have a ratio CH4 : H2O = 1:2.

So, mole so water = , 0.397*2= 0.794 moles
In liters it would be: 0.794 * 22.414 = 17.80 L

In short, Your Answer would be 17.80 Liters

Hope this helps!
