In the Sl system of units, the mole is one of seven base units. It is frequently used in
chemical calculations. However, a mole of something 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 Sl system? Explain why
or why not.
