In the SI system of units, The mole is one of the seven base units. It is frequently used in chemical calculations. however a mole of some thing is just a particular quantity of it. It is not a unit of measure in the way that meters, seconds,and kilograms are. Calculations performed with the number of moles of a substance could also be performed with the number of particles of a substance. Based on this information do you think that the mole should be considered a base unit in the SI system? Explain why or why not?
