Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert the specific heat of water from calorie per gram Celsius to Joules per kilogram Kelvin, we use the following conversion factor:

1 calorie/gram Celsius = 4.186 Joules/kilogram Kelvin

Therefore, the specific heat of water in the MKS system of units is:

1.000 cal/gm Celsius x 4.186 J/kg Kelvin = 4.186 J/kg Kelvin

So the best answer is E) 4,186 J/kg Kelvin.
