Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does femtomol per second measure?
-
Femtomol per second measures the flux of a substance at extremely small scales, such as metabolite secretion in single cells or very tiny biochemical reactions.
-
How is decimol per second used in process engineering?
-
Decimol per second quantifies molar flow rates in small-scale reactors, gas-mixing systems, and pharmaceutical dosing where moderate molar flow rates need precise control.
-
Why are conversions between these units important?
-
Converting between femtomol/second and decimol/second helps relate highly sensitive biological measurements to larger chemical process flows, enabling consistent data interpretation.
Key Terminology
-
Femtomol/second [fmol/s]
-
A molar flow rate unit representing 1×10⁻¹⁵ moles of substance transferred per second, used for measuring extremely small-scale chemical or biological fluxes.
-
Decimol/second [dmol/s]
-
A molar flow rate unit equivalent to 0.1 moles per second, used to describe flows in small-scale process engineering and dosing systems.
