About Converting Centimoles to Petamoles
Centimole and Petamole both measure mass concentration — how much of a substance is dissolved or dispersed in a given volume — a core calculation for preparing lab solutions, checking water quality against a regulatory limit, or formulating a pharmaceutical dose. Specifically: Centimole is 0.01 mole units, and petamole is 1000000000000000 mole units.
Formula
petamoles = centimoles × 1e-17
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centimole equals 0.01 base units, and 1 petamole equals 1e+15 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centimole-to-petamole factor of 1e-17.
Simple example
1 cmol × 1e-17 = 1e-17 Pmol
1 centimole = 1e-17 petamoles.
Real-world example
100 cmol × 1e-17 = 1e-15 Pmol
100 centimoles = 1e-15 petamoles.

Reverse conversion: Petamole to Centimole
1e-17 Pmol × 1e+17 = 1 cmol
1e-17 petamoles = 1 centimole.
centimoles = petamoles × 1e+17

Frequently asked questions
How many petamoles are in 1 centimole?
1 centimole equals 1e-17 petamoles, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centimole to petamole?
Multiply the centimole value by 1e-17. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert petamole back to centimole?
Use the reverse factor: 1 petamole equals 1e+17 centimoles. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centimole?
Centimole (cmol) is a unit of chemistry.
What is a petamole?
Petamole (Pmol) is a unit of chemistry.
Is the centimole to petamole conversion exact?
Yes. Both centimole and petamole are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1e-17 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between mass concentration and molarity?
Mass concentration expresses how much mass of a substance is present per unit volume (for example, grams per liter). Molarity expresses the amount in moles per liter instead, which accounts for the substance's molecular weight. This category converts mass-concentration units.
