Mole is one of the main concept of chemistry. It is very useful in calculating mass of products from mass of reactants

Explanation:

Avogadro's constant is # 6.023 * 10^23 #. This represents the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon. A mole has #6.022 * 10^23 "molecules"#.

For example, if a limited amount of compound or element #x# has #12.044 * 10^23# molecules. The amount of element #x# is said to be #2# moles of #x#.
