Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does petamol per second measure?
-
Petamol per second measures molar flow rate, specifically an extremely large amount of moles passing a point per second, equal to 10^15 moles per second.
-
When should I use this conversion?
-
Use this conversion when you need to express very large molar flow rates from fields like astrophysics or large industrial processes into standard mol/second units for chemical engineering calculations.
-
Is this conversion suitable for everyday laboratory work?
-
No, petamol per second is typically used for very large theoretical or industrial flows. Standard lab processes use mol/second or smaller units.
