remember that in this case pressure is equal to 1.00 atm and temperature is equal to 273.15K. So,
P
V
=
n
R
T

n
=
P
V
R
T
=

Since we know hydrogen's molar mass (

), we can determine the mass

If indeed you are dealing with STP, remember that, under these conditions, 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies
22.4
L
. So,
n
=
V

=

22.4
L
=

moles
And, once again,
m
=
0.31

2.0
=
0.6
