Q: Convert 212.0 kilocalories to joules using the conversion $$1 \text{ calorie} = 4.184 \text{ J}.$$

$$212.0 \times 1000 \times 4.184 = 887,008 \text{ J}$$

Q: A 100 g block of chromium absorbs 400 J of heat. If the specific heat of chromium is $$0.449 \text{ J/g} \cdot ^\circ\text{C}$$, what is the temperature change ($$\Delta T$$)?

$$\Delta T = \frac{400}{100 \times 0.449} = 8.9^\circ\text{C}$$

Q: Which of the following is a correct temperature conversion from $$25^\circ\text{C} to $$Kelvin?

$$25 + 273.15 = 298.15 \text{ K}$$

Q: Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating heat ($$q) $$absorbed or released by a substance?

$$q = m \times c \times \Delta T$$
