Chapter 3.6, Problem 41PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: How many Kilocalories are produced in following should be calculated-

1. Burning of a stalk of celery which gives 125 kJ when it is burned in calorimeter
2. Burning of a waffle which gives 870 kJ when it is burned in calorimeter.

Concept Introduction:

• conversion factor is

$1\text{ k}cal=4.184kJ$

Or,

$\begin{array}{c}1kJ=\frac{1}{4.184\text{ k}cal}\\ \text{= }0.239\text{ k}cal\end{array}$
