The new volume of hydrogen gas at STP is 4550 "L"4550L.

The equation for the combined gas law is (P_1V_1)/T_1=(P_2V_2)/T_2P1V1T1=P2V2T2.

If I read your problem correctly, you want the volume of hydrogen gas after it has been adjusted to STP.

Known:
P_1=100.0 "atm"P1=100.0atm
V_1=50.0 "amt"V1=50.0amt
T_1=27.0^"o""C+273.15=300.2K"T1=27.0oC+273.15=300.2K

P_2=1.00 "atm"P2=1.00atm
T_2=0^"o""C+273.15=273.15K"T2=0oC+273.15=273.15K

Unknown:
V_2V2

Solution: Rearrange the equation to isolate and solve for V_2V2.

V_2=(P_1V_1T_2)/(T_1P_2)=(100.0cancel"atm" * 50.0 "L" * 273.15cancel"K")/(300.2cancel"K" * 1.00cancel"atm")=4550 "L"
