A dozen donuts = 12 donuts.\n- A mole of anything = 6.02 x 10^23 of that thing (atoms, molecules).\n   I wrote 6.02 x 10^32 at first. ** Ms. Abara: exponent is 23, not 32! **\n\nMs. Abara's analogy: \"Chemists count atoms the way bakers count eggs, in bunches. Atoms are so tiny that a dozen is useless. We need a HUGE bunch to have an amount we can actually weigh on a scale.\"\n\nWhy it matters: lets us go from counting tiny particles to grams we can measure.\n\nFormulas (NOT for this explanation, that's next week):\n- moles = mass / molar mass\n- particles = moles x 6.02 x 10^23\n\nMy confusion: is a mole a unit of mass? Ms. Abara said \"No! It's a number, like a dozen.\"\n\nQuiz Friday.
