When 100.0 g of gasoline undergoes combustion,9560 kJ of energy are released.Express the heat released in kilocalories.(Given: 4.184 J = 1 cal)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert the energy from joules (J) to kilocalories (kcal), use the conversion factor 4.184 J = 1 cal. First, convert 9560 kJ to J (9560 kJ * 1000 J/kJ = 9,560,000 J). Then, convert J to cal (9,560,000 J / 4.184 J/cal = 2,285,000 cal). Finally, convert cal to kcal (2,285,000 cal / 1000 cal/kcal = 2,285 kcal), which is approximately 2.28 x 10^3 kcal.
