The Mole Quantity of material normally expressed in terms of 1. Mass 2. Volume 3. Number of items *Reactions in chemistry are at the atomic level and deal with individual atoms or molecules (numbers rather than mass) *Atoms are so tiny and light that everyday (gram) quantities would translate into extremely huge numbers of atoms *the mole is the counting unit based on the number 6. 022 X 1023

The Mole *Why 6. 02 X 1023? *Why not 1. 00 X 1023 or 1. 00 X 1025 or 1010? *The Mole is also equivalent to the number of atoms in exactly 12. 00 g of C-12 IN OTHER WORDS…. .
