What is the conversion factor from mol/second to mol/hour?

One mole per second equals 3600 moles per hour.

Why would I convert mol/s to mol/h?

Converting to mol/h helps express molar flow over longer timeframes, simplifying data reporting and analysis in many chemical and biochemical applications.

Can this conversion be used for fluctuating flow rates?

This conversion assumes steady flow conditions, so it may not be suitable for highly variable or transient molar flow rates.

How to Convert from Mol/second [mol/s] to Mol/hour [mol/h]?

Learn how to convert molar flow rates from mol/second to mol/hour using an easy formula, with practical examples and common applications in chemical engineering and laboratory settings.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter facilitates the conversion of molar flow rates from moles per second (mol/s) to moles per hour (mol/h), providing essential support for chemical and biochemical process calculations.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in mol/second that you wish to convert.
Select mol/second as the input unit and mol/hour as the output unit.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent flow rate in mol/hour.
Review results and use them for reports, calculations, or process monitoring.

Key Features

Converts molar flow rates between mol/second and mol/hour.
Provides clear examples of common conversions for practical use.
Useful for chemical reactors, process design, and lab experiments.
Browser-based and easy to use with a simple input process.

Examples

Converting 2 mol/s to mol/h results in 7200 mol/h.
0.5 mol/s is equivalent to 1800 mol/h.
Use the formula 1 mol/s = 3600 mol/h to calculate other values.

Common Use Cases

Specifying feed rates for chemical reactors and stoichiometric calculations.
Reporting gas flow rates in process equipment and mass-flow controllers.
Quantifying reactant consumption or product formation in catalytic and biochemical processes.
Expressing throughput of gas or vapor streams for material balance analysis.

Tips & Best Practices

Use mol/s for rapid, short-term flow rate measurements.
Choose mol/h when reporting long-term or hourly production rates.
Confirm steady flow conditions to ensure valid conversions.
Cross-check unit inputs to prevent calculation errors.

Limitations

Conversion assumes steady-state flow without accounting for transient changes.
Not ideal for processes with highly fluctuating or very fast dynamics.
Select the time basis that best fits the process under study to maintain accuracy.

Key Terminology

mol/second [mol/s]: An SI derived unit measuring the amount of substance per second; commonly used in chemical and engineering contexts for molar flow rate.
mol/hour [mol/h]: Unit measuring the amount of substance per hour; used in chemical engineering and laboratory settings to quantify molar throughput.
Molar flow rate: The rate at which moles of a substance pass a point or are produced/consumed in a process within a given time.
