All other elements react with other elements to form compounds. In the special case where the reaction produces fixed numbers of the same types of atoms in exactly the same configuration, we say the elements have formed a molecule.
For the purpose we will here use the ideal gas law:
p×V=n×R×T
V= ?
n = 0.5 moleT= 273.15 K (at STP)
p= 101.325 kPa (at STP)
R is universal gas constant, and its value is 8.314 J/mol×K
Now when we have all necessary date we can calculate the number of moles:
V=nxRxT/p
V=0.5x8.314x273.15/101.325= 11.2 L = 11200 mL
Answer: D.
