Applications of the Mole Concept in Stoichiometry
Introduction to the Mole Concept
The mole concept is a fundamental principle in chemistry that serves as a bridge between the atomic world and the macroscopic quantities we can measure in the laboratory. Defined as the amount of substance containing the same number of entities (usually atoms or molecules) as there are in 12 grams of carbon-12, one mole is equivalent to approximately 6.022 x 10²³ particles, a number known as Avogadro's number.
