Rezumat: A survey is reported about the mole-related conceptions shared by first year undergraduate students majoring in Chemistry. The survey was carried out during the 2023-24 academic year. The purpose is to identify which of the commonly shared definitions and applications of the mole are more predominant among undergraduate students. The topic is not free from misconceptions and by checking the particularities of the Greek educational system an effort is made to understand why the specific conceptions were formulated and retained. Furthermore, it is attempted to relate the preferred definitions of the mole to the mathematical and cognitive skills of the students when they are asked to apply the mole in relatively simple chemical problems.
Cuvinte cheie: mole, definition, unit of mass, stoichiometry, chemical reaction
