Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A mole is a counting unit, which means that it is like a dozen, or a pair, except that instead of having 12 or 2 of something, there are 6.022*10^23 of them. Why do chemists use moles instead of the number of atoms? That is where the boxes and apples come in. Lets say a company has 13340 apples, which is a lot. The company sends out and receives their apples in boxes of 667 apples. No one wants to say "we have thirteen thousand, three hundred and four hundred apples in stock right now." Instead, they all say "We just got twenty boxes of apples". You can see how the company doesn't like dealing with large numbers, so they use boxes to simplify apple counting. Chemists are the same. No one wants to say "Here, have six hundred two sextillion two hundred fourteen quintillion seventy-six quadrillion glucose molecules", instead, we/they say "Here, have a mole of glucose."
