What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to change units from centimol per second (cmol/s), a small-scale molar flow rate unit, to examol per second (Emol/s), which measures extremely large molar flow rates. It is designed to facilitate conversions across vastly different measurement scales used in chemical engineering, laboratory research, and planetary science.

0.1 cmol/s = 0.1 × 1e-20 Emol/s = 1e-21 Emol/s
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying low-rate reagent feed or dosing in laboratory or pilot-scale flow reactors
-
Reporting molar throughput in microreactors or flow chemistry experiments
-
Mass-balance and reaction-rate calculations with small molar flow rates such as trace emissions
-
Expressing extremely large molar flow rates in fields like astrophysics or planetary science
-
Scaling molar flow values for computational models or theoretical analyses involving exa-scale quantities
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify the scale difference since units differ by 38 orders of magnitude
-
Use this tool for clear and consistent unit conversions across vastly different molar flow regimes
-
Handle extremely large or small conversion results carefully to avoid numerical errors
-
Apply converted values appropriately based on the scientific or engineering context
-
Refer to example calculations to ensure understanding of the conversion process
Limitations
-
Large difference in unit scales (38 orders of magnitude) can lead to extremely small or large numbers
-
Requires careful interpretation to prevent mistakes in practical applications
-
Not intended for conversion of units outside of centimol/second and examol/second
-
Conversion does not adjust for experimental uncertainties or measurement errors
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does centimol per second measure?
-
Centimol per second is a unit of molar flow rate that measures 0.01 moles passing a point per second, commonly used in laboratory and small-scale chemical processes.
-
When should I use examol per second?
-
Examol per second is used to express extremely large molar flow rates, such as those encountered in astrophysics or theoretical models involving very large amounts of substance.
-
Why is this conversion important?
-
This conversion is essential for translating molar flow rates across vastly different scales, enabling accurate comparisons and data interpretation from microreactor experiments to astrophysical phenomena.
