An advantage of the S.I, (Systéme International d' Unités) Unit system is that if you use the basic units you don't have to worry about conversion factors.

For the seven "fundamental dimensions', the S.I. basic units are:

Length → meter, m

time → second, s

mass → kilogram, kg

temperature → kelvin, K

substance → kilomol, kmol

electric current → ampere, Å

luminous intensity → candel, cd

i.e.; Force = mass∙acceleration → 1 newton = 1 kg∙ m/s

Work = Force∙lenght → 1 joule = 1 N∙m/s2

heat = mass∙(sp.heat cap.)∙(temperature difference) → 1 joule = kg∙[J/(kg∙K)]∙K

So if you are to use this last relation, you have to use joule. If not you have to be

careful in noticing that the result will be in kilojoules, kJ.

How do you convert 2.35 kilojoules of heat to degree celsius?

To convert 2.35 kilojoules of heat to degrees Celsius, you need to know the specific heat capacity of the substance being heated. Once you have this value, you can use the formula: Heat energy (in joules) = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature. By rearranging the formula, you can calculate the change in temperature in degrees Celsius.


How many joules are in 56 kilo joules?

There are 56,000 joules in 56 kilojoules. This is because there are 1,000 joules in a kilojoule.


How do you Convert 40.79 kilojoules per mole to joules per grams?

To convert from kilojoules per mole to joules per gram, you need the molar mass of the substance. Once you have the molar mass, you can convert as follows: 1 kJ/mol = 1000 J/mol 40.79 kJ/mol = 40.79 * 1000 J/mol = 40790 J/mol Then, divide by the molar mass in grams/mol to get joules per gram.


How do I convert the enthalpy of vaporization of water in joules per gram from kiloJoules per mole?

Lets say, for example the enthalpy is equal to 1200 joules/gram. You take 1200 joules/gram * (# of grams)/one mole [now you can cancel grams and it is now joules/mole.] Then convert the answer to kilojoules by dividing by 1000.
