Units for Internal Energy
Does it matter which units to use for internal energy for our final answer. Is it kJ or J?

Re: Units for Internal Energy
I think you can use either in your answers, but try and maintain the one in which information was given in the question. Typically, one is also more favorable in terms of sig figs, but either should be fine

As long as you are consistent, I do not believe it matters whether you use kj or j.
