Kilomole

Kilomole (symbol kmol) is the SI-derived unit of amount of substance equal to 1,000 moles. It is formed by applying the SI prefix kilo to the mole. Therefore, 1 kmol = 1000 mol, and one kilomole corresponds to roughly 6.022×10^26 elementary entities (if referring to atoms, molecules, or formula units).

The kilomole is used in chemistry and chemical engineering to express large quantities, such as amounts of reactants and products in industrial processes. It helps avoid writing many moles when dealing with large-scale material flows, while remaining compatible with the mole-based stoichiometry used in calculations.

Status: Kilomole is an SI-derived unit with its own symbol kmol and is accepted for use with SI. It is not a base unit; the mole remains the SI base unit of amount of substance, and the kilomole is simply a scaled unit used for convenience in appropriate contexts.
