Ian Ward · Answer 1

When we say STP that means the system is at its standard temperature and pressure. Both systems is having the same condition hence temperature and pressure is constant. We then set the amount of gas in both cases to be equal. Hence from the ideal gas law,

PV=nRT we can say that with everything constant, volume must also be constant.

The answer is (2) 2 L of methane gas.
