Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]recently, the main actors in most discussions of a redefinition of the mole (and of other SI units) have been to a large extent physical chemists and SI Officers in the Consultative Committee for Units (CCU) to the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) and from there to the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM). In 2013, an article was published for the information of the Analytical Chemistry Division of the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuCheMS) [4]. [...]all readers of ACQUAL are strongly encouraged to contact their chemical societies as well as their National Adhering Organizations to IUPAC, which meet at the IUPAC Council Meeting of the biennial IUPAC General Assembly (next one: [...]all should realize that a fruitful in-depth discussion and redefinition of the unit mole cannot possibly take place without a thorough re-examination of the confusing concept “amount of substance,” the quantity of which the mole is the unit, and which is so difficult to teach according to many educators in chemistry as reflected in various publications, e.g., in the Journal of Chemical Education.
