1. What is the Mole Flow Rate Unit Converter?
Definition: This converter transforms mole flow rate values between various units. Mole flow rate measures the amount of substance (in moles) passing through a point per unit time, typically in moles per second (mol/s).
Purpose: Useful in chemistry, chemical engineering, and process industries for converting mole flow rate units in applications like reaction kinetics, stoichiometry, and flow processes.
2. How Does the Converter Work?
The converter uses conversion factors relative to the base unit examol/second [Emol/s]:
- Input value is converted to Emol/s by dividing by the "From" unit's factor.
- The result is converted to the "To" unit by multiplying by the "To" unit's factor.

3. Importance of Mole Flow Rate Conversion
Mole flow rate conversion is critical for:
- Chemistry: Calculating reaction rates and balances in chemical reactions.
- Chemical Engineering: Designing reactors, pipelines, and process flows.
- Environmental Science: Monitoring gas emissions and pollutant flows in molar terms.
4. Using the Converter
Example 1: Convert 1 examol/second to mol/second:
- Input: 1 Emol/s
- From Unit: examol/second (factor: 1)
- To Unit: mol/second (factor: 1.0E+18)
- Calculation: \( 1 / 1 \times 1.0E+18 = 1.0E+18 \)
Result: 1.0000e+18 mol/second
Example 2: Convert 1 attomol/second to mol/second:
- Input: 1 attomol/second
- From Unit: attomol/second (factor: 1.0E+36)
- To Unit: mol/second (factor: 1.0E+18)
- Calculation: \( 1 / 1.0E+36 \times 1.0E+18 = 1.0E-18 \)
Result: 1.0000e-18 mol/second
