Solution

Each point: 1 Mark

1. An equation of a chemical reaction indicates directly the number of atoms or molecules taking part in the reaction.
2. Therefore it is more convenient to refer to the quantity of a substance in terms of the number of molecules or atoms rather than their masses.
So mole concept was introduced.
