Answer: b. 12.9 grams

Explanation:

[tex]2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2[/tex]

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every gas occupies 22.4 Liters at STP ,contains avogadro's number [tex]6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex] of particles and weighs equal to the molecular mass.

Thus at STP :

1 mole of hydrogen is produced by 2 moles of sodium metal

i.e. 22.4 L of [tex]H_2[/tex] is produced by 46 gram of sodium metal

6.3 L of [tex]H_2[/tex] is produced by=[tex]\frac{46}{22.4}\times 6.3=12.9gram[/tex] of sodium metal
