Question

If an endothermic process absorbs 256j how many kilocalories are absorbed

Answer 1

There are several units for expressing energy, Most common are joules and kilocalories.

The conversion factor of joule to kilocalories is
1 kilo calorie = 4184 J
∴ x kilo calorie = 256 J

x =
`(256)/(4184) = 0.0611` kilo calories

Thus, 256 J = 0.0611 kilocalories

Answer 2

Answer: 0.0612 kcalories

Explanation:

Endothermic processes are those processes in which heat is absorbed and exothermic processes are those processes in which heat is released.

Standard units for heat measurement are Joules and calories wherein

1 joule = 0.239 calorie.

As 1 Joule is equivalent to 0.239 calorie

256 Joules are equivalent to=
`(0.239)/(1)* 256=61.2calories`

Now 1 cal = 0.001 kcalories

Therefore 61.2 calories=
`(0.001)/(1)* 61.2=0.0612kcal`
