Two points: to my best knowledge, there is not a directly equivalent between tons of air conditioning and wattage. It depends on the equipment and its manufacturer. But, there is a coarse and very general, at standard conditions, guide:
1/2 Tons A/C, 120 VAC@ 7 AMP = 1400 Watts.
1 Ton A/C, 120 VAC@ 12 AMP = 2200 Watts.
2.-The fact is the tons of A/C equal to BTU's. BTU's are work, energy. Watts are power, this is, Watts are already related with time.
If you know the rate at which that energy is moving:
I ton A/C = 12 000 BTU's.
I BTU/sec = 1055.1 Watts.
Hope not worsen the things.
Robles.
