How to play notes over one octave at once in one voice on a piano?
In the bass voice, I am supposed to play notes spanning from C to the next but one G at once. Is this even possible with one hand? Should I use the other hand for that G?
I could barely hit the two outer keys with my fingers, but then there is no finger to play the other C...

Simplest is to think the top l.h. (bass) note (G) should really have been written under (and belonging to) the treble clef. Then use your right thumb to play it. That's realistically how it ought to have been written.
There's an inner melody of a sort at the top of the LH notes. It could be emphasized by spreading that last chord. Or you could accept the notation as showing the musical intention but cheat the G with the RH. The second way may seem 'easier'. I suspect the first way could be more effective.
