    How to convert mass emission (kg/m2/s) to emission (molecules/cm3/s)?

    Hi, everyone. I have 1 question about the unit convertion. I want to use CEDS emission data to simulate. I want to use the emission from aircraft so I think I must convert its unit (kg/m2/s) to molecules/cm3/s. I try to calculate but I do not know if my calculation is right. My calculation is...
