Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion factor

1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 4184 joules (J)
Let the heat in kilocalories be \(x\).
The heat in joules \(y\) is given by the formula \(y = 4184x\).
Since the value of \(x\) (heat in kcal) is not given in the problem - we assume the heat in kcal is \(x\). So the heat in joules is \(4184x\).

Answer:

If the heat released in kilocalories is \(x\), the heat released in joules is \(4184x\)
