I am struggling with this AP Chemistry Problem

A balloon filled with 39.9 mol of helium was a volums of 876 L at 0.0°C and 1 atm. The temperature of the balloon increased from 38.0°C as it expands to a volume of 998L, the pressure remaining constant. Calculate q,w, and change in E. The molar heat capacity of He is 20.i J/°C•mol.

I think your conversion from 122 atm-L to kJ is incorrect.  I find the following:
122 L-atm x 101.325 J/L-atm x 1 kJ/1000 J = 12.36 kJ

Thank you.  I forgot to include that in the calculation.
