I’m struggling with dimensional analysis in chemistry! will someone me with .74 kcal/min to cal/sec ? explain and give answer i need a deep explanation. i’ve watched videos and nothing seems to show metric conversions which are on my worksheet too.

            12.33 cal/sec

Explanation:

As we know,

                          1 Kcal  =  1000 cal

So,

                     0.74 Kcal  =  X cal

Solving for X,

                      X =  (0.74 Kcal × 1000 cal) ÷ 1 Kcal

                      X =  740 cal

Also we know that,

                      1 Minute  =  60 Seconds

Therefore, in order to derive cal/sec unit replace 0.74 Kcal by 740 cal and 1 min by 60 sec in given unit as,

                                       = 740 cal / 60 sec

                                       = 12.33 cal/sec
