A mole is a unit in chemistry used to express amounts of chemical substance. Now what exactly does this have to do with you? Unless you are a chemist, Ms. Warren, or one of Ms. Warrens students, probably nothing. But if you are a chemist, Ms. Warren, or a student, learning about moles is very important. They are very widely used in chemistry in conversions, finding out how much of a substance is being used in a chemical reaction, and so many other things in chemistry.
Fun Fact: October 23 is called Mole Day It is an informal holiday in honor of the unit among chemists. The date is derived from Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6.022×1023. It starts at 6:02 a.m. and ends at 6:02 p.m.
Because explaining the conversions in words would be very complicated, I'm going to use a picture to demonstrate:
