There are reasons.
First, it takes more energy more energy and therefore costs to extract the needed sodium from its compounds than it is to simply get the hydrogen by electrolysis of water.
Second, the reaction between sodium and any acid is violent, even explosive, making it dangerous to conduct even on a small scale.
Third, the heat produced by the reaction is enough to ignite the hydrogen, which would then form only common water.

What is the percent yield for the reaction of 6.92 g of K and 4.28 g of O2 if 7.36 g of KO2 is recovered in the laboratory?
First you need to find the theoretical yield for the reaction:2Na + O2 ---> Na2O2(1) find the theoretical yield of 3.74 g of Na, i.e. if all of the Na is reacted3.74 g Na *(1 mol Na/22.99 g Na)*(1 mol Na2O2 formed/2 mol Na reacted)*(77.98 g Na2O2/1 mol Na2O2) = 6.34 g Na2O2(2) % yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield)*(100%)% yield = (5.34 g / 6.34 g) *(100%) = 84.2% yield
How many moles of hydrogen gas will be produced if 25g of Na reacts completely with excess HCl?
Using the equation 2Na + 2HCl -> 2NaCl + H2, we can see that 2 moles of Na react with 2 moles of HCl to produce 1 mole of H2. Calculate moles of Na: 25g Na * 1 mol Na / 23g Na = 1.09 mol Na. Since the reaction is with excess HCl, the number of moles of H2 produced will be half the number of moles of Na, so it will be 0.545 moles of H2.

Do metal react with acid to yield carbon dioxide gas?
no metal can not react with acid to give Carbondioxide gas but a hydrogen gas HCl + Na-------->NaCl(s) + H(g)
How many moles of hydrogen gas are produced when 0.066 mole of sodium is completely reacted?
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sodium and water is: 2Na + 2H2O -> 2NaOH + H2 This means that for every mole of sodium (Na) reacted, one mole of hydrogen gas (H2) is produced. Therefore, when 0.066 mole of sodium is reacted, 0.066 mole of hydrogen gas will be produced.
Do metals reacts with acid to form a salt and hydrogen?
Yes. Example: 2 Na + 2 HCl ---> 2 NaCl + H2 Sodium (Na) is a metal.HCl is hydrochloric acid. Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is a salt.

The reactants are sodium metal (Na) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). The chemical reaction between them produces salt (NaCl) and hydrogen gas (H2).
What part of sodium hydrochloric acid is responsible for making hydrogen?
There is no such thing as Sodium Hydrochloric acid, but if you react Sodium metal with Hydrochloric acid, you will release hydrogen. The hydrogen comes from hydrochloric acid, which is HCl (hydrogen chloride.) Sodium is Na, just a pure element without any hydrogen in it. 2Na + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + H2 (gas) You don't need HCl to make hydrogen gas. Just tossing the sodium into water will release plenty of hydrogen (and some flames) and give a solution of sodium hydroxide in the water.
