210 g of sodium is required.

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is

2Na+H2SO4H2+Na2SO4

98 g of sulfuric acid (1 mol) reacts with 46 g (2 mol) of Na.

6.0 M H2SO4 implies 6.0 × 98 g of the acid in a litre of solution.

Thus 750 mL of solution contains 0,750 L × 6.0 mol/L × 98 g=441 g H2SO4.

This 441 g of H2SO4 reacts with 441 g H2SO4×46 g Na98 g H2SO4=210 g Na
