1) How much thermal energy (heat) was lost by A?
Q1=c*m*dT1=1*10000*25=250,000 cal

How many time must how many say that "heat" is not "energy".

Since the majority here (and in the rest of the physics community) are quite
comfortable with the term heat = thermal energy, you can say it ad-infinitum
(which unfortunately you are prone to do). I for one am REALLY tired of
this pointless and never ending debate.
