Which statement best explains the purpose of using a mole in the measurement of matter?

A mole represents a very large number of particles: about 6.02 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, or other entities. Using this counting unit lets chemists measure and work with the enormous numbers of atoms found in ordinary samples. A mole is not a unit of mass, and equal amounts in moles do not necessarily have equal masses.
