Convert Moles per minute to Moles per second
Convert Moles per minute (mol/min) to Moles per second (mol/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mol/s = mol/min × 0.01666666667
About Moles per minute
The mole per minute (mol/min) equals 1/60 mol/s ≈ 0.01667 mol/s, used in process development when studying batch-to-continuous reaction scale-up. A semi-batch neutralisation reactor discharging at 60 mmol/s corresponds to 3.6 mol/min of acid added; microwave-assisted flow reactors for fine-chemical synthesis operate at similar rates. 1 mol/min = 1/60 mol/s = 60 mol/h.
About Moles per second
The mole per second (mol/s) is the SI coherent derived unit of molar flow rate, numerically equal to the katal (kat) for catalytic activity contexts. Industrial ammonia synthesis (Haber-Bosch) produces ≈50 mol/s of NH₃ per tonne/h output; a large turbine combustion chamber burns natural gas at ≈500 mol/s of CH₄. It is the reference unit in process simulation mass balances. 1 mol/s = 3 600 mol/h = 60 mol/min.
