Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Metric System
The metric system is a decimal-based system of measurement used globally, which includes units such as meters, kilometers, and grams. It is structured around powers of ten, making conversions between units straightforward. Understanding the relationships between these units is essential for performing calculations in chemistry and other sciences.

Unit Conversion
Unit conversion involves changing a quantity expressed in one unit to another unit without changing its value. This process is crucial in chemistry for ensuring that measurements are consistent and comparable. Familiarity with conversion factors, such as 1 km = 1000 m, allows for accurate calculations and comparisons in scientific contexts.

Mole Concept
The mole is a fundamental unit in chemistry that quantifies the amount of substance. One mole contains approximately 6.022 x 10^23 entities (Avogadro's number), whether they are atoms, molecules, or ions. Understanding the mole and its subdivisions, such as millimoles (mmol), is vital for stoichiometric calculations and understanding chemical reactions.
