The mole may be used in calculations involving the number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, or other particles) involved in chemical reactions, the mass of elements or compounds, or the volume relationships in gases.
Since, in the balanced equation, the mole unit serves to relate the quantities of products and reactants, it is possible to determine quantitative results in desired units, which may not necessarily be the same as the original units.
Since one mole of any gas occupies the same volume as one mole of any other gas, at the same temperature and pressure, the volumes of gases involved in a reaction are proportional to the number of moles indicated by numerical coefficients in a balanced equation.

 Facts about atomic mass unit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The atomic mass unit, also called the dalton after the chemist John Dalton, is a small unit of mass used to express atomic masses and molecular masses.
The unit is convenient because one hydrogen atom weighs approximately 1 amu, and more generally an atom or molecule that contains n protons and neutrons will have a mass approximately equal to n amu.
Another reason the unit is used is that it is much easier to compare masses of atoms and molecules (determine relative masses) than to measure their absolute masses.
