Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does attomol/second measure?
-
Attomol/second measures molar flow rate at extremely small scales, representing 10⁻¹⁸ moles per second, often used in microfluidics and single-molecule experiments.
-
When would I use petamol/second units?
-
Petamol/second expresses very large molar flow rates in fields like astrophysics, high-throughput industrial processes, and simulations of high-energy events.
-
Why is the conversion factor between amol/s and Pmol/s so large?
-
Because attomol and petamol represent vastly different magnitudes in moles (10⁻¹⁸ vs 10¹⁵), the conversion spans a scale factor of 10³³.
Key Terminology
-
Attomol/second (amol/s)
-
A unit measuring molar flow rate at 10⁻¹⁸ moles per second, used for ultra-trace molecular flows in microfluidic and single-molecule experiments.
-
Petamol/second (Pmol/s)
-
A unit measuring very large molar flow rates equivalent to 10¹⁵ moles per second, utilized in astrophysics and large-scale industrial process modeling.
-
Molar Flow Rate
-
The amount of substance in moles passing a given point per unit of time, commonly expressed in mol/s and its multiples or submultiples.
