1 mol at stp = 22.4 lit.
40 grms ca gives 22.4 lit.

So 8 grms ca?
= 8*22.4/40.
= 4.48 lit.
= 4480 c.c.

The answer should be D.

As per stoichiometric Eqn, 1 mole of ca is producing 1 mole of h2.
So 8gms of ca = 8/40 (mol.wt)= 0.2 gm.moles,
So h2 also produced will be 0.2 gm.moles as per the eqn,
The weight of H2 = 0.2*2 (mol.wt) = 0.4.
