**Problem 10: Reaction of Sodium Metal with Water**

A piece of sodium metal reacts completely with water according to the following chemical equation:

\[ 2 \text{Na}_{(s)} + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O}_{(l)} \rightarrow 2 \text{NaOH}_{(aq)} + \text{H}_2_{(g)} \]

During this reaction, hydrogen gas is generated and collected over water at a temperature of 25.0°C. The volume of the hydrogen gas collected is 246 mL, measured at a pressure of 1.00 atm. 

**Task:**
Calculate the number of grams of sodium used in the reaction.

**Additional Information:**
- The vapor pressure of water at 25.0°C is 0.0313 atm.
