of something is 6.02 × 10²³ of it. The mass of a mole of a substance is its relative mass expressed in grams.

is a piece of equipment that is designed for a particular use.

is the ability to change between units of measurement.

refers to how close a measured value is to the true or standard value.

is the range of measurements within which the true value can be expected to be found. On apparatus, it is half the value of one resolution marking.
