In the SI 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 SI system? Explain why or why not.

Idid a lab for chemistry where we put nails in a copper (ii) chloride solution. 1. why did the reaction stop? which reactant was used up? how do you know? 2. describe what was happening to the atoms of iron and copper during the reaction. what is this type of reaction called? 3. what would happen to the ratio of copper to iron if you had placed more nails in the beaker? if you had let the reaction go for less time? 4. what is the accepted ratio of copper atoms to iron atoms in this reaction? account for differences between your experimental value and the accepted value. write the balanced equation for the reaction.
