About Converting Petamoles to Centimoles
Petamole and Centimole 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: Petamole is 1000000000000000 mole units, and centimole is 0.01 mole units.
Formula
centimoles = petamoles × 1e+17
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 petamole equals 1e+15 base units, and 1 centimole equals 0.01 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct petamole-to-centimole factor of 1e+17.
Simple example
1 Pmol × 1e+17 = 1e+17 cmol
1 petamole = 1e+17 centimoles.
Real-world example
100 Pmol × 1e+17 = 1e+19 cmol
100 petamoles = 1e+19 centimoles.
Conversion table
| Petamole (Pmol) | Centimole (cmol) |
|---|---|
| 0.001 Pmol | 1e+14 cmol |
| 0.01 Pmol | 1e+15 cmol |
| 0.1 Pmol | 1e+16 cmol |
| 1 Pmol | 1e+17 cmol |
| 10 Pmol | 1e+18 cmol |

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

Frequently asked questions
How many centimoles are in 1 petamole?
1 petamole equals 1e+17 centimoles, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert petamole to centimole?
Multiply the petamole value by 1e+17. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert centimole back to petamole?
Use the reverse factor: 1 centimole equals 1e-17 petamoles. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a petamole?
Petamole (Pmol) is a unit of chemistry.
What is a centimole?
Centimole (cmol) is a unit of chemistry.
Is the petamole to centimole conversion exact?
Yes. Both petamole and centimole 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.
