What does petamol/second measure?

Petamol per second measures the amount of substance flow at a rate of 10^15 moles per second, typically for extremely large molar flow rates in astrophysics or industrial processes.

When should I use picomol/second units?

Picomol per second is used for very small molar flow rates, such as microfluidic reagent dosing or measuring enzyme reaction rates in biochemical contexts.

Why is there a large conversion factor between these units?

Because one petamol per second equals 10^27 picomol per second, reflecting the vast difference in scale between these units for measuring molar flow.
