1kcal = 4.2kJ

It just a matter of the Imperial System vs the Metric System.

Note that 1kcal = 1000cal and 4.2kJ = 4.2kJ = 4200J

What is the resonance energy of cyclooctatetraene?

The heat of hydrogenation of cyclooctene is 97 kJ/mol. The heat of hydrogenation of cyclooctatetraene is 410 kJ/mol, more than four times the value for cyclooctene. The expected value for cyclooctatetraene (based on the value for cyclooctene) is 388 kJ/mol (4 x 97 kJ/mol). The difference between the observed value and the expected value is the resonance stabilization energy, or -22 kJ/mol (388 kJ/mol - 410 kJ/mol). The negative sign indicating that full conjugation in cyclooctatetraene is destabilizing. I am not certain how sign conventions are handled in this arena though.
