#24.42=24420cm^3#

Explanation:

We are going to use the ideal gas law, which states that

#PV=nRT#

#P# is pressure in pascals #(Pa)#

#V# is volume in #m^3#

#n# is the number of moles of the substance

#R# is the gas constant

#T# is the temperature in Kelvin #(K)#

Since we are using atmospheric pressure as units and the gas constant as #0.082 Lit-atm-mol^-1K^-1#, then our volume will be in liters #(l)#.
So, plugging in #P=4atm#, #n="8g"/"2.016g/mol"~~3.97 "mol"#, #R=0.082#, and #T=300K#, we get

#V=(nRT)/P=(3.97*0.082*300)/4~~24.42l=24420cm^3# of hydrogen gas #(H_2)#.
