Approx. #13*g#....

Explanation:

We address the stoichiometric equation....

#Na^+HCO_3^(-) +HCl(aq)rarrNaCl(aq) +H_2O(l) + CO_2(g)uarr#

And thus there is 1:1 molar equivalence between hydrochloric acid and sodium bicarbonate...

#n_"HCl"=25.2*mLxx10^-3*L*mL^-1xx6.01*mol*L^-1=0.152*mol#

#"mass"_"sodium bicarbonate"=0.152*molxx84.01*g*mol^-1=??*g#
