"Mass' versus "Amount of matter"
I just started a thermo-fluid science course and am confused with a table showing common dimensions
Dimension...Unit
Mass......kilogram (kg)
Amount of matter...mole (mol)
I thought mass was the amount of matter something had. Then what's the difference between a kilogram and a mole?
