The mole is theunit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) for amount of substance. It isdefined as the amount of a chemical substance thatcontains as many elementary entities, e.g., atoms, molecules, ions, electrons,or photons, as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12 (12C), the isotope of carbon with relative atomic mass12 by definition. Thisnumber is expressed by the Avogadro constant, which has a value of 6.022140857(74)×1023 mol−1.The mole is one of the base units of the SI, and has the unit symbol mol.


Think of moles as a "chemist'sdozen". Just as12 eggs is a dozen eggs, 6.02 × 1023 eggs is a mole of eggs. 6.02 × 1023 molecules of oxygen is a mole of oxygen.

The number of grams in a mole is different from substance to substance. If you're like most students,it's this that's confusing you.Picture it this way: a dozen elephants havea different weight than a dozen rabbits- but in each case, you have a dozen animals. Similarly, a mole of oxygengas has a different weight than a mole of water- but in each case, you have 6.02×1023 molecules.

Why use moles? You often want to know how many molecules you have in a sample of a substance. Counting the molecules individually would be completely impractical. Even if you hada way to see the individual molecules, there are just too many, evenin a tiny sample. Moles were defined to solve the problem of counting large numbers of molecules. With moles, you count the number of molecules in the sample by weighing it.big
