What does femtomol/second measure?

Femtomol/second quantifies the molar flow rate of a substance transferred or produced at extremely small scales, such as cellular or nanofluidic systems.

When should I use hectomol/second units?

Hectomol/second is used to express high molar flow rates typical of industrial-scale chemical reactors and gas supply processes.

How do I interpret very small conversion results?

Due to the large difference in scale, conversion results are very small numbers often represented using scientific notation for clarity.
