Mole is a number that connects mass of a substance with its number of particles.

1 mole of a substance = 6.02 x #10^23# particles (entities)

1 mole of Dioxygen or #O_2# = 6.02 x #10^23# molecules of #O_2#

1 mole of #O_2# has mass 32 g

we can say that

32 g of #O_2# = 1 mole

1g of #O_2# = 1/32 mole

2500 g of #O_2# = 1/32 x 2500 = 78.125 moles.
