any of several units of heat defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius (1Â°C) at a specified temperature. The calorie used in chemistry and biochemistry is equal to 4.184 joules.
One older unit of heat is the kilogram-calorie (Cal), originally defined as the energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius, typically from 14.5 to 15.5 Â°C. The specific average heat capacity of water on this scale would therefore be exactly 1 Cal/(CÂ°âkg).ne (rare) unit of heat is the pound calorie (lb-cal), defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Celsius. On this scale the specific heat of water would be 1 lb-cal/(Kâlb).
