Complete Self-Test C-1.6.2 and check your answers.

  1. Convert the following heat energy values to the units indicated:

a. 256 J =                      calories          h. 9,540 J =                      calories

b. 78,000 J =                      kWh          i. 145,000 J =                      kWh

c. 450,000 J =                      BTU          j. 1,250,600 J =                      BTU

d. 1 kWh =                      J          k. 0.6 kWh =                      J

e. 45 kWh =                      BTU          l. 61.5 kWh =                      BTU

f. 6,750 BTU =                      J          m. 100 kWh =                      BTU

g. 875,000 BTU =                      kWh          n. 750,000 BTU =                      kWh
