1 kilo-calorie= 4184 joules
0.001 kilo-calorie= 1 calorie

Answer : 5.25 Calories is equivalent to 21.966 Joules.

Explanation :

The capacity to do any work is called its energy. Its SI unit is joules. Another unit of energy is joules.

The relation between the calorie and the joule is :

[tex]1\ calorie=4.184\ J[/tex]

To convert 5.25 calories to joules we have to use unitary method i.e.

[tex]5.25\ calories=5.25\times 4.184\ J[/tex]

So, 5.25 C = 21.966 Joules.

Hence, this is the required solution.
