What does kilomol/second measure?

Kilomol per second quantifies the amount of substance passing a point or entering a system per second, equal to 1,000 moles per second.

Where is micromol/second commonly used?

Micromol per second is used in contexts requiring very small substance flow rates such as microfluidics, biochemical assays, and microreactors.

Why is careful attention needed when converting between kmol/s and µmol/s?

Because of the large difference in scale, conversions require numerical accuracy to prevent rounding errors or loss of precision.
