A mole is a unit of measurement used for chemicals. The unit “mole” can also be abbreviated as “mol”. “Moles are used so that chemists, scientists or engineers know how much of different kinds of chemicals to use to have reactions that work out right. When chemists want to have a chemical reaction come out they need to know how many molecules of each kind of chemical they have, so they measure the chemicals in moles. A mole is the atomic weight of a molecule of the chemical in grams” ("Propulsion." What Is a Mole?). “The amount of a pure substance is expressed by the SI base unit of the mole”. One mole of a substance contains 6.02 x10^23 particles of the substance. That number is known as Avogadro’s number ("Amount of." SI Units Explained). “The number of atoms or other particles in a mole is the same for all substances” (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica). That

The reason that is so, is because the 6:02 and the 10/23 is symbolized as the 6.02 x 10^23. “The purpose of the National Mole Day Foundation was and continues to be to get all persons, especially students, enthused about chemistry. To do that we would systematically collect ideas from many people, mostly high school Chemistry teachers who celebrate Mole Day, assemble those ideas into idea newsletters, and then distribute them to those who become members of the foundation. As the years have passed, interest in the National Mole Day Foundation has become widespread. The day is celebrated in many foreign countries, especially in Canada and in Australia” (2015 theme). I think that is so unique just because of one guy who decided to put time and effort into the Avogadro’s number and the unit mole. That people decide to make a whole entire day out of it by celebrating it. Amedeo Avogadro obviously made an impact and influence on people, because him and his work is still well known, used and celebrated today, about 205 years
