From the problem statement, this is a conversion problem. We are asked to convert from units of kilojoules to units of calories. To do this, we need a conversion factor which would relate the different units involved. We either multiply or divide this certain value to the original measurement depending on what is asked. From literature, we will find that 1 kilojoule is equal to 239 calories. We do as follows:

2.2125 kJ ( 239 calories / 1 kJ ) = 528.79 calories

3241004551 [841]


Potassium is not found  free in nature but is found in the form of potash. Potash is the ore of potassium and this ore is mined from deep down the earth or can sometimes  be found on the surface. Potash was mostly formed as sea water receded and left deposits.

Potash is usually in the form of potassium salts such potassium chloride and  potassium sulphate.  The potash  is mined then taken to the factory where it is crushed and purified  by removing such impurities as clay.

The now purified potassium salts are subjected to a process called electrolysis where  potassium metal is obtained from its salt.
