003 - The Mole<br />
<br />
In this video Paul Andersen defines and explains the importance of the mole. The mole is simply a number (like a dozen) used to express the massive number of atoms in matter. It serves as a bridge between the mass of a compound and the number of particles. It is represented in chemical reactions as the coefficients before reactants and products.<br />
