Identify the conversion factor from kilowatt-hours (kWh) to calories (cal). Note that 1 kWh is equivalent to 860,420 cal.
Multiply the total energy consumption of the refrigerator in kWh by the conversion factor to convert the energy into calories. Use the formula: Energy (cal) = Energy (kWh) \( \times \) 860,420 cal/kWh.
Set up the calculation with the given value: 745 kWh \( \times \) 860,420 cal/kWh.
Perform the multiplication to find the energy in calories.
Express the final result in calories, ensuring the correct number of significant figures based on the given data.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Energy Units

Energy can be measured in various units, including kilowatt-hours (kWh) and calories (Cal). A kilowatt-hour is the amount of energy consumed when a device uses one kilowatt of power for one hour, while a calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Understanding these units is essential for converting energy values.
