$$ \ce{8H2(g) + S8(s) -> 8H2S(g)} $$

When \(\pu{25.6 g}\) of \(\ce{S8(s)}\) (molar mass \(\pu{256 g mol^{-1}}\)) reacts completely with an excess of \(\ce{H2(g)}\) according to the equation above, the volume of \(\ce{H2S(g)}\), measured at \(0\degree\)C and \(\pu{1.00 atm}\), produced is closest to

We can use the fact that the reaction occurs at STP to obtain the volume of gas produced.

$$ \pu{25.6 g } \ce{ S8} \cdot \frac{\pu{1 mol }\ce{S8}}{\pu{256 g }\ce{ S8}}\cdot \frac{\pu{8 mol }\ce{H2S}}{\pu{1 mol }\ce{S8}} \cdot\frac{\pu{22.4 L }\ce{ S8}}{\pu{1 mol }\ce{ S8}}$$ $$ =25.6\cdot \frac{1}{256} \cdot 8 \cdot 22.4 \text{ L }\ce{S8} $$ $$ \approx \boxed{\pu{20 L }\ce{S8}} $$
