The mole: counting atoms and molecules

A mole is a fixed, exact number of particles, exactly like a dozen always means precisely 12, just a much larger number instead: exactly 6.02214076 x 10^23. Chemists use moles to count atoms and molecules indirectly, by weighing a substance and converting that mass to a number of particles using the substance's own molar mass.
