Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 picomol per second represent?
-
It represents a molar flow rate equal to 10^-12 moles passing a point every second, commonly used for extremely low chemical flow measurements.
-
How many moles per second equal one hectomol per second?
-
One hectomol per second equals 100 moles per second.
-
Why convert picomol/s to hectomol/s?
-
Converting these units helps translate very low biochemical flow rates into the scale of industrial chemical processes for comparison and integration.
Key Terminology
-
Picomol/second [pmol/s]
-
A unit indicating the transfer of 10^-12 moles of substance per second, used for quantifying very low molar flow rates.
-
Hectomol/second [hmol/s]
-
A unit measuring 100 moles of substance passing a point each second, typically used for high-rate chemical throughput.
-
Molar Flow Rate
-
The amount of substance (in moles) passing through a point per unit time.
