2Na + 2H2O ==> H2 + 2NaOH
Ptotal = pH2 + pH2O
Ptotal = 101.2 kPa
pH2O = look up vapor pressure H2O at 25 C. Substitute and solve for pH2. That will be pressure of dry H2.
Use PV = nRT and solve for n. Use dry H2 for P. If you use 101.3 then use 8.314 for R. Remember T must be in kelvin. Solve for n.
Then convert mols H2 to mols Na (from the equation) and convert to grams Na used. g = mols x atomic mass.
peice of sodium metal reacts with water. 246ml volume of hydrogen gas was collected over water at 25 celsius and at an atmospheric pressuric pf 101.3 kpa.
