What does kilomol/second (kmol/s) represent?

Kilomol/second is an SI-derived unit representing 1,000 moles of substance passing a point per second, used for measuring large-scale molar flow rates.

When should I use centimol/second (cmol/s)?

Centimol/second is suitable for quantifying small molar flow rates, such as in laboratory experiments or pilot-scale reactors involving low-rate reagent feeds.

How do I perform the conversion between kmol/s and cmol/s?

You multiply the value in kilomol/second by 100,000 to get the equivalent molar flow rate in centimol/second.
