Lets take ideal gas equation.
pv=nrt.
We know n = no of moles = weight(w)/molecular weight(m)
substitute n = w/m in ideal gas equation.
at stp T= 273k.
P= 101325.
given v = 448 liters = 0.448m3.
R = 8.314.
m = molecular weight of butane 58,
substitute all above values,
(101325*0.448*58) / (8.314*273).
We get w = 1159.9 gm.

Because At STP, one mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume.

448/22.4 = 20 moles.
20 * 58 (m.Wt) = 1160.
20 * 58 (m.Wt) = 1160.

One mole of grams of stp occupies 22.4l.

Why we divide by 22.4? Please explain.

58/22.4 = 2.58,
2.58*448 = 1160.
2.58*448 = 1160.
