The International
System of Units (SI), commonly known as the metric system, is the
international standard for measurement. The SI plays an essential role
in international commerce and is commonly used in scientific and
technological research and development. This cache is part of the
SI geoart that allows you to learn about the SI units.

Amount of substance: mole
(mol)
Amount of substance is a standard-defined quantity that measures the
size of an ensemble of particles, such as atoms, molecules, electrons,
and other particles. The SI unit for amount of substance is the mole. Effective
20 May 2019, the mole is defined as the amount of a chemical substance
that contains exactly 6.02214076×1023 (Avogadro constant)
constitutive particles. Previously, it was defined based on the number
of atoms in 12 grams of
carbon-12.

Given 854784 mg of pure hydrogen, how many
moles of hydrogen atoms are there? Consider its standard atomic weight.
Let this number be ABC.
The mole is the seventh SI base unit. In which year did the General
Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) make the mole a SI base unit?
Subtract 1075 from this number to get DEF.
Final coordinates: N 39° 07.ABC W 077° 08.DEF
