#"e) 1.83 L"#

Explanation:

#"1 mol" = 6.022 × 10^23\ "atoms"#

#4.91 × 10^22\ "atoms" = 4.91 × 10^22 cancel"atoms" × "1 mol"/(6.022 × 10^23\ cancel"atoms") = "0.0816 mol"#

According to #"STP"# (before #1982#): 1 mol of any gas at #"1 atm"# and #"273.15 K"# occupies #"22.4 L"#

#"0.0816 mol"# of gas at #"STP"# will occupy a volume of

#0.0816 cancel"mol" × "22.4 L"/(1 cancel"mol") = "1.83 L"#
