Large scale differences require careful attention to significant figures
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does mol/hour measure?
-
Mol/hour measures the amount of substance in moles passing a point or processed per hour, commonly used in chemical and laboratory contexts.
-
Why use nanomol/second as a unit?
-
Nanomol/second is used to represent very small molar flow rates per second, ideal for biochemical and microfluidic applications where amounts are on the nanomole scale.
-
Can this conversion handle fluctuating flow rates?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady flow rates and does not take into account variations or fluctuations.
Key Terminology
-
Mol/hour (mol/h)
-
A molar flow rate unit representing moles of substance passing a point or processed per hour.
-
Nanomol/second (nmol/s)
-
A unit indicating 10⁻⁹ moles of substance transferred or consumed per second, used for very small flow rates.
-
Molar flow rate
-
The measure of amount of substance transferred or produced per unit of time.
