  • A.0.24
  • B.41.9
  • C.4.19
  • D.1.00

Answer: C

Correct answer: 4.19

A calorie was defined as the heat raising a gram of water by one degree, and the mechanical equivalent is 4.187 joules. So a kilocalorie is about 4.19 kilojoules. The figure appears constantly in fuel and steam calculations, where calorific values are still often quoted in kilocalories.
