A 0.693 g0.693 g sample of a metal, M, reacts completely with sulfuric acid according to M(s)+H2SO4(aq)⟶MSO4(aq)+H2(g)M(s)+H2SO4(aq)⟶MSO4(aq)+H2(g) A volume of 269 mL269 mL of hydrogen is collected over water; the water level in the collecting vessel is the same as the outside level. Atmospheric pressure is 756.0 Torr, and the temperature is 25 °C. The vapor pressure of water at 25 °C is 23.8 Torr. Calculate the molar mass of the metal.
Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that occur as a result of reactions or chemical changes in a substance.
Exergonic Reaction
The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energy during the course of the reaction. So, exothermic reaction is one type of exergonic reaction. Exergonic reaction releases work energy in different forms like heat, light or sound. For example, a glow stick releases light making that an exergonic reaction and not an exothermic reaction since no heat is released. Even endothermic reactions at very high temperature are exergonic.

Answer
This question is answered by using the simple concept of stoichiometry which involves the relationship between moles of reactants and products using balanced chemical equation. Firstly using the ideal gas equation, moles of hydrogen gas are calculated then molar mass of metal is calculated.
