No, to convert from cal. to joules 1 cal. = 4.18400 joules ,

then 1KCal = (4.18400 *10^-3) joules so 3.25 kcal doesn't equal 3.25 Joules

During an energy transfer what happens to the total amount of energy?

Energy can not be destroyed, so the total amount of energy before a change is equal to the amount of energy after the change. However, some energy is changed into a useful form, but some may be wasted and not used. For example, a light bulb, changes electrical energy into light energy, but some of the energy is changed to heat and some to sound, these are not useful and are wasted, but are changed nonetheless. So a transformation from mechanical energy to heat will have the same total energy at the start as at the finish, but unless it is 100% efficient some of the original energy will be 'lost'


Do all fuels release the same amount of energy?

No, not all fuels release the same amount of energy when burned. Different fuels have varying energy densities, which is the amount of energy released per unit of mass or volume. For example, fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel generally have higher energy content compared to biomass or biofuels. Factors such as chemical composition and the presence of impurities also influence the energy output of different fuels.


What Units used to express energy transfer?

Its the exact amount without loosing any in the process. This process is called "The Law of Conservation of Energy".


What is The amount of energy in a sound wave is called?

Amplitude


A substance with a higher specific heat will take more energy to raise its temperature?

It means that it takes more energy to produce the same increase in temperature in the same amount. For example it takes more energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree than it does to do the same with 1 gram of iron. Therefore water has a higher specific heat.

Does an electron have the same amount of enery in all orbitals?

All of the orbitals in the same energy sublevel (s, p, d, f) have the same amount of energy. For example, each of the 3p orbitals have the same energy and all of the electrons in the 3p orbitals have the same energy.


How can two objects have the same amount of kinetic energy?

Two objects can have the same amount of kinetic energy if they have the same mass and velocity. Kinetic energy is given by the formula KE = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2, so if both objects have the same mass and velocity, they will have the same kinetic energy.


Does the amount of energy change when one energy changes to another?

No. It just gets moved around. The total amount of energy stays the same.


Why does work have the same unit as energy?

because work is a transformation of energy. If there is some loss of energy in a process then same amount of work will be created. For this reason the unit of work and energy is same.


Why arn't work and energy the same?

Work and energy use the same units; but the term "work" is used in the sense of "transfer of energy" (amount of energy transferred).


As a candle burns the total amount of energy will what?

As a candle burns, the total amount of chemical potential energy stored in the wax is converted into heat and light energy, so the total amount of energy remains the same.


What always happens when an energy transformation occurs?

The total amount of energy remains the same.


If a reaction in one direction releases energy the same reaction in the other direction will what?

If a reaction in one direction releases energy, then the same reaction in the other direction will absorb the same amount of energy. This is because energy is conserved in a reversible reaction, with the release and absorption of energy being equal and opposite.


Does an ice cube have the same amount of energy as a block of ice?

No, an ice cube does not have the same amount of energy as a block of ice. The energy content of an object depends on its mass, temperature, and phase. A block of ice has more mass and therefore more energy than an ice cube of the same material.


Who needs more energy boys or girls?

Both boys and girls need the same amount of energy as long as they do the same activities.


What states that during any change the amount of energy stays the same?

Law of Conservation of Energy.


Why the cilia epithelium have more mitochondria them simple squamous?

The cilia need energy provided by the mitochondrion to move. The other cells do not move do not have the need for the same amount of energy.The cilia need energy provided by the mitochondrion to move. The other cells do not move do not have the need for the same amount of energy.
