Q: Convert 0.025 kg to milligrams ($$\mathrm{mg}).$$

$$0.025\ \mathrm{kg} \times \frac{1000\ \mathrm{g}}{1\ \mathrm{kg}} \times \frac{1000\ \mathrm{mg}}{1\ \mathrm{g}} = 25,000\ \mathrm{mg}$$

Q: A food contains 9 g of fat, 4 g of protein, and 12 g of carbohydrate. If fat provides $$37\ \mathrm{kJ/g}$$, protein $$17\ \mathrm{kJ/g}$$, and carbohydrate $$17\ \mathrm{kJ/g}$$, what is the total energy content of the food?

$$(9 \times 37) + (4 \times 17) + (12 \times 17) = 333\ \mathrm{kJ}$$

Q: A solution contains 0.50 g of NaCl in 100 g of water. What is the percentage of NaCl in the solution?

$$\frac{0.50}{100} \times 100\% = 0.5\%$$
