What does 1 hectomol/second represent?

One hectomol per second equals 100 moles passing a point every second and is used to measure high molar flow rates.

When should I use this unit conversion?

Use it when translating chemical flow rates from industrial scales to very large scales such as planetary or environmental assessments.

Why do converted values sometimes become very small decimals?

Because one hectomol per second equals 1e-7 gigamol per second, small values in hmol/s convert to very small numbers in Gmol/s.
