- Chemical reactions involve interaction of atoms and molecules. A large number of atoms / molecules (approximately 6.023 × 1023 ) are present in a few grams of any chemical compound varying with their atomic/molecular masses. To handle such large numbers conveniently, the mole concept was introduced. This concept has implications in diverse areas such as analytical chemistry, biochemistry, electrochemistry, and radiochemistry. The following example illustrates a typical case, involving chemical/electrochemical reaction, which requires a clear understanding of the mole concept. If the cathode is a Hg electrode, the maximum mass of amalgam formed from this solution is
