Define mole. Describe the importance of mole concept in chemistry?

  1. The mole is defined as the amount of substance of a system that contains as many "elementary entities". a substance's atomic or molecular mass in atomic mass units is the same as its molar mass in grams.

  2. A mole is the SI base unit used to measure the amount of a substance. It is the amount of pure substance containing the same number of chemical units as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12. A mole is a measurement used when solving calculations. It provides a steady method to convert between molecules and grams.

  3. The definition of the word mole simply means the molecular weight/ the weight in molecules of a substance expressed in grams; gram molecule. A mole is a used when calculating chemical equations/problems. This is sometimes measured in grams.

  4. A mole is the amount of pure substance containing the same number of chemical units as there are atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12. It provides a bridge between the atom and the macroscopic amounts of material and it allows chemist to weigh out amounts of two substances.

  5. The mole is the SI base unit of amount of substance. A mole has 6.0221415×10^23 atoms or molecules of the pure substance being measured. Chemical reactions often take place at levels where using grams wouldn't make sense, yet using absolute numbers of atoms/molecules/ions would be confusing, too. It provides a bridge between the atom and the macroscopic amounts of material that we work with in the laboratory. It allows the chemist to weigh out amounts of two substances, like iron and sulfur.

  8. A mole is defined as the number of atoms in carbon and has to be based on something reproducible. It's units of measurement is for the amount of substance. Moles give the quantity of anything that has same value of particles found in 12.000 grams of carbon- 12. This is one of the main units many chemists use in calculations. It's used with molecules and atoms and is measured in grams because its too big to apply to anything larger.

  9. A mole is an SI unit and is the amount of pure substance.moles are used in calculations, usually those of converting grams into moles or moles into grams

  10. The definition for mole is mass in grams of the amount of a substance, equal to the molar mass of the substance. It is important in chemistry because inorder to do stiocheometry equations you have know the moles in that equation to complete it.
