Convert ton of coal to joule

Learn how to convert 1 ton of coal to joule step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (t o n o f c o a l) = x (j o u l e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (t o n o f c o a l) = 2.9288 \times 10^{10} (j o u l e) = 2.9288 \times 10^{10} (J)

Right side: 1.0 (j o u l e) = 1.0 (j o u l e) = 1.0 (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (t o n o f c o a l) = x (j o u l e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.9288 \times 10^{10} \times (j o u l e) = x \times 1.0 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.9288 \times 10^{10} \cdot (J) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.9288 \times 10^{10} \cdot (J) = x \times 1.0 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

2.9288 \times 10^{10} = x \times 1.0

Simplify

2.9288 \times 10^{10} = x

Switch sides

x = 2.9288 \times 10^{10}

Solve

x

x = 29288000000 = 2.9288 \times 10^{10}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (t o n o f c o a l) = 2.9288 \times 10^{10} (j o u l e)
