What does kilomol/second represent?

Kilomol/second (kmol/s) is an SI-derived unit measuring molar flow rate equivalent to 1,000 moles per second, used to quantify large-scale substance flow in chemical processes.

When should I use attomol/second units?

Attomol/second (amol/s), representing 10^-18 mole per second, is used for describing extremely small substance transfer rates in microfluidic, nanofluidic, or single-molecule analyses.

Why is the conversion factor so large between kmol/s and amol/s?

Due to the difference in magnitude between kilomol and attomol units, 1 kmol/s equals 10^21 amol/s, reflecting the shift from large industrial scales to ultra-trace molecular scales.
