What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms molar flow rates from examol per second (Emol/s), an extremely large SI-derived unit, into gigamol per second (Gmol/s), a unit more commonly used in industrial and environmental contexts for large-scale chemical throughputs.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the molar flow value in examol per second (Emol/s).
-
Select examol/second as the source unit and gigamol/second as the target unit.

Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this converter to simplify order-of-magnitude comparisons when dealing with extremely large molar flows.
-
Apply the conversion in steady-state or average flow scenarios to maintain relevance.
-
Leverage accurate input values for flows typically requiring high-precision instrumentation.
Limitations
-
The converter is designed for extremely large molar flow rates and is not suitable for small-scale flows.
-
It assumes steady or average flow conditions, so variable or transient flows might cause discrepancies.
-
Practical measurements require careful instrumentation due to the enormous quantities involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does examol per second measure?
-
Examol per second measures the rate at which moles of a substance pass a surface or are produced or consumed per second, representing extremely large molar flow rates.
-
Why convert from examol/second to gigamol/second?
-
Converting from examol/second to gigamol/second helps express vast molar flow rates in units that are more practical for industrial, environmental, and planetary-scale applications.
-
Is this conversion suitable for small-scale molar flows?
-
No, this conversion is intended for very large-scale molar flow rates and is not appropriate for small-scale flows due to the huge difference in magnitudes.
Key Terminology
-
Examol per second (Emol/s)
-
An SI-derived unit representing 10^18 moles per second, used for extremely large molar flow rates.
-
Gigamol per second (Gmol/s)
-
A unit of molar flow equal to 10^9 moles per second, commonly used to express large-scale chemical throughput.
