Flow Converter (Molar)

About This Tool

This Molar Flow Rate Converter is a highly specialized tool for chemists and chemical engineers. It converts units of molar flow rate, which measures the number of moles of a substance that pass per unit of time. The base unit is the mol per second (mol/s).

Molar flow is fundamental to stoichiometry and the design of chemical reactors, as chemical reactions occur on a molar basis. This tool is essential for scaling up laboratory experiments to industrial production and for performing material balances on reactive systems.

Tips & Features

• What is a Mole?: A mole is a unit representing a specific number of particles (atoms or molecules), approximately 6.022 × 10²³. Molar flow tracks the flow of these 'packets' of molecules, which is what matters in a chemical reaction.
• From Mass Flow to Molar Flow: You can calculate molar flow rate by dividing the mass flow rate by the substance's molar mass (Molar Flow = Mass Flow / Molar Mass).
• Ideal Gas Law Application: For gases, molar flow is often used in conjunction with the ideal gas law to relate pressure, volume, and temperature in a flowing system.
