Mole

Mole Definition

Imagine you're trying to bake cookies, but your recipe calls for a "batch" and you have no idea how many cookies that means. Just like a batch standardizes the number of cookies you need to bake, a mole standardizes the number of particles in a substance, ensuring chemists are all on the same page. In this analogy, a "batch" of cookies is like a mole of particles—both terms represent a specific, uniform quantity that helps people communicate clearly and consistently, whether in the kitchen or the laboratory.
