Using the ideal gas law, PV = NkT, where P is pressure, V is volume, N is the number of particles, k is the Boltzmann constant, and T is temperature. Solving for V/N, we get V/N = kT/P. Plugging in the given values and converting the temperature to Kelvin, we get V/N = (1.38 × 10^-23 J/K)(333 K)/(1.50 atm)(1.013 × 10^5 Pa/atm) = 3.02 × 10^-26 m^3/particle. Therefore, the answer is B.
