Convert Kilomoles per second to Picomoles per second
Convert Kilomoles per second (kmol/s) to Picomoles per second (pmol/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
pmol/s = kmol/s × 1000000000000000
About Kilomoles per second
The kilomole per second (kmol/s) equals 1 000 mol/s, characterising the very largest industrial chemical processes. A world-scale ammonia synthesis plant produces ≈3 kmol/s of NH₃; a large steam methane reformer converts natural gas at ≈10 kmol/s. It is the preferred unit in European process simulation when outputs are in the thousands of tonnes per day. 1 kmol/s = 1 000 mol/s = 3 600 kmol/h.
About Picomoles per second
The picomole per second (pmol/s) equals 10⁻¹² mol/s, the scale of neurotransmitter release at individual synapses and elution peaks in capillary electrophoresis. Cardiac troponin release from ischaemic myocytes is estimated at 1-10 pmol/s per cell; sub-microlitre continuous-flow microreactors in drug-discovery automation operate at this throughput. 1 pmol/s = 10⁻¹² mol/s = 1000 fmol/s.
