Answer to Question #290922 in General Chemistry for Den

Question

Base from what you understand from the discussions and examples in your module, give one important application of understanding the mole concept particularly in the field of Science. Give your answer in this manner.

Field of Science (examples, medicine, Chemistry etc.) = Practical

Application (pls be specific and explain. Give example if possible.

Answer 1

The mole particularly millimoles and molarity is commonly used unit in medicine. For example, concentrations of intravenous solutions and drugs are expressed in terms of miles.

Atoms, molecules and formula units are very small and very difficult to work with usually. However, the mole concept allows chemists to work with amounts large enough to use.

Mole concept allows scientists to calculate the number of elementary entities (usually atoms or molecules) in a certain mass of a given substance.
