Element of the Day La Lanthanum Is a Chemical Element with the Symbol La and Atomic Number 57

Element of the Dayhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q21clW0s0B8 La Lanthanum is a chemical element with the symbol La and atomic number 57. Lanthanum is a silvery white metallic element that belongs to group 3 of the periodic table and is the first element of the lanthanide series. It is found in some rareearth minerals, usually in combination with cerium and other rare earth elements. Lanthanum is a malleable, ductile, and soft metal that oxidizes rapidly when exposed to air. It is produced from the minerals monazite and bastnäsite using a complex multistage extraction process. Lanthanum compounds have numerous applications as catalysts, additives in glass, carbon lighting for studio lighting and projection, ignition elements in llighters and torches, electron cathodes, scintillators, and others. Lanthanum carbonate (La2(CO3)3) was approved as a medication against renal failure. How many atoms of Lanthanum are in one mole of Lanthanum?

How many grams are in one mole of Lanthanum atoms?

3 Mystery Question

During our last laboratory investigation, we reacted copper (II) nitrate with sodium hydroxide to form copper (II) hydroxide and sodium nitrate. During the laboratory investigation we used approximately 37 milligrams of copper (II) nitrate and 12 milligrams of sodium hydroxide.

For every molecule of copper (II) nitrate that reacts, how many molecules of sodium hydroxide react?

At the end of the reaction, will there be any reactant leftover? If so, which and how much?

copper nitrate 3.0 ml * 1l/1000ml * 0.1mole/l = 0.0003 moles * (63.546 + 14 + 48)g/mol = 0.037 grams

sodium hydroxide 3.0 ml *1/1000ml * 0.1 mol/liter = 0.0003 moles * (23 + 16 +1)g/mol = 0.012 grams

The gram is a much easier unit to use.

Example: If a gold bar weighs 40.0 grams, how much would a silver bar weigh that has the same number of atoms?

Mole (mol) is the number of carbon atoms in a 12.01 gram sample of carbon. This number, also known as Avogadro's number, is 6.022 * 1023.

How big is this number? More Facts...

A sample of an element with a mass equal to that element's average atomic mass expressed in grams contains 1 mol of atoms.

Example 1: How much do 6.022*1023 atoms of Au weigh?

Example 2: How much do 6.022*1023 atoms of Fe weigh?

Example 3: How many moles are in a 5.0 gram sample of lithium? How many atoms are present?

Example 4: 1 mol of H atoms has a mass of 1.008 g. How much mass does 1/2 a mol of H atoms contain (in grams)?

6 Lecture: The Mole

Calculating Moles and Number of Atoms

How many moles of atoms are found in a 12.0gram sample of aluminum? How many atoms are there?

Calculating the Number of Atoms

A silicon chip has a mass of 3.01 milligrams. How many silicon atoms are present in this chip? Average atomic mass for silcon is 28.09 amu.

7 Lecture: The Mole Molar mass

How can we calculate the number of atoms in or the mass of a compound?

Example Carbon dioxide

Picture

Calculation

Steps 1. Calculate the atomic masses of each element in the compound.

2. Add these masses together to find the molar mass (the amount of mass one mole of a substance).
