Square centimeters per second to square meters per second
Type a value in cm²/s to get it in m²/s instantly.
1×10⁻⁹m²/s
That's 100× as fast as a protein in water, while salt in water is 1.5× faster. In an hour a molecule would wander about 2.683 mm.
Convert the other way: m²/s to cm²/s
What it means
How fast does it spread?
Diffusion distances go with the square root of time: four times as long gets you only twice as far.
The math
How to convert cm²/s to m²/s
To convert square centimeters per second to square meters per second, multiply by 0.0001.
Example: 1×10⁻⁵ cm²/s × 0.0001 = 1×10⁻⁹ m²/s.
In the other direction, 1 m²/s = 10,000 cm²/s.
