Solution

Mole:

  1. A mole is defined as the quantity of a material that includes precisely 6.02214076X1023 of the substance's elementary entities. A substance's mass that has the same number of fundamental units as there are atoms in precisely 12.000 g of 12C is referred to as a mole.
  2. Quantities that cannot be quantified using units like grams or milligrams are referred to as moles. A mole thus counts the number of atoms, ions, or molecules.
  3. The following formula can be used to determine how many moles of material are present in a given pure sample:
    n=NNA, where n is the quantity (or elementary item) in moles, N is the total number of elementary entities in the sample,
  4. NA is the Avogadro constant. The number 6.02214076X1023 is popularly known as the Avogadro constant.

Therefore mole is the quantity of a material that includes precisely 6.02214076X1023 of the substance's elementary entities.
