| Abstract |
This review provides historical background on the terms mole, mole per liter, and molar as it discusses their status with respect to the SI system of measurement. Currently the prevalent use of mole per liter and molar does not conform with the recommendations which apply to SI units in general. The article suggests an approach for dealing with this problem in teaching.

| Chemistry Teacher Connection |
| The Division of Chemical Education (CHED) of the American Chemical Society (ACS), along with the Journal of Chemical Education is offering a new value called the "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC). This product is created especially for high school chemistry teachers. It offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education. Normally, these two items would cost $65 per year, but are available as the CTC for only $40 a year. CTC subscribers will receive access to all articles and accompanying supplements shown on the CLIC website. This will include all published JCE items that have been designated in a print issue's table of contents as being of interest to high school teachers, from 1996 through the current issue. |
| C & EN CLICs |
| Chemical & Engineering News is a professional chemistry journal published weekly to keep the 158,000 members of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, informed of important developments in chemistry, industry, and business. Through special arrangement with the ACS, the Journal of Chemical Education is now able to provide its members with online access to C&EN articles that have been chosen specifically for secondary science instructors and their students. |
JCE Collections Available
|
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
