A calorie is amount of heat necessary to increase the temperature of one gram of water by 33.8°F (1°C). Necessary heat depends on two variables: atmospheric pressure and starting temperature. The value of one calorie is equal to 4.1860 joules. Both calories or joules are used in calculating… View Full Term
