Why is the converted value from kmol/s to pmol/s so large?

Because 1 kilomol/second equals 1 × 10^15 picomol/second, the scale difference means numbers grow significantly when converted.

In which fields is this conversion commonly used?

It is widely used in chemical engineering, industrial manufacturing, biochemical research, microfluidics, and analytical instrumentation.

What should I consider when converting large-scale molar flow to very small-scale units?

You should consider the vast difference in scale, the need for precise calibration, and using scientific notation to manage data.

Key Terminology

Kilomol/second [kmol/s]: An SI-derived unit of molar flow rate equal to 1,000 moles per second, measuring the amount of substance passing a point each second.
Picomol/second [pmol/s]: A derived SI unit of molar flow representing 10^-12 moles per second, used to quantify very small chemical or biochemical flow rates.
Molar Flow Rate: The rate at which amount of substance—measured in moles—passes through a given point or system per unit time.
