Answer

(a) $0.967\,kJ$ (b) $3.15\times10^{5}\,kcal$ (c) $1.39\,kWh$ (d) $6.88\,Cal$

Work Step by Step

Using the energy conversion factors, we have (a) $231\,cal= 231\,cal\times\frac{4.184\,J}{1\,cal}\times\frac{1\,kJ}{1000\,J}$ $=0.967\,kJ$ (b) $132\times10^{4}\,kJ=132\times10^{4}\,kJ\times\frac{1\,kcal}{4.184\,kJ}$ $=3.15\times10^{5}\,kcal$ (c) $4.99\times10^{3}\,kJ=4.99\times10^{6}\,J\times\frac{1\,kWh}{3.60\times10^{6}\,J}$ $=1.39\,kWh$ (d) $2.88\times10^{4}\,J=2.88\times10^{4}\,J\times\frac{1\,Cal}{4184\,J}$ $=6.88\,Cal$
