Square centimeters per second to square meters per hour
Type a value in cm²/s to get it in m²/h instantly.
3.6×10⁻⁶m²/h
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.
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/h
To convert square centimeters per second to square meters per hour, multiply by 0.36.
Example: 1×10⁻⁵ cm²/s × 0.36 = 3.6×10⁻⁶ m²/h.
In the other direction, 1 m²/h = 2.77778 cm²/s.
