Introduction

We need to start by defining our terms. We use:

  • 1 calorie = 4.2 Joules
    • This is the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 degree Celsius
  • 1 Calorie = 4200 J
    • calorie with capital C is the heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius
  • calory = 4.2 Joules
    • This is used for food energy values.
