I have learned so much about the mole! at first I just thought that it was a concentration of things! like a 6 molar Sulfuric acid. However it turns out that a mole is simply a unit of measurement, but not in the way you think. More specifically it represents number like much like a dozen, decade or quire would. The number it represents is called Avogrado's number which is equal to 6.0221415 × 10^23. It really surprised me that the "mole" dates back to the 1800's, and I always just kinda figured it was created by Avogrado in a dark room, but no! it took years of him stuying other scientist to finally come up with it.
