Any energy unit you feel like using.
In the US, the most commonly used is the dietary Calorie, which is actually a kilocalorie in the scientific sense.
Outside the US, kilojoules are the usual units.

∙ 11y agoSince heat is a type of energy, it should be measured in joules. However, the old-fashioned unit (the calorie) is still being used frequently.

What measures the amount of energy in the motion of atoms?
Since heat and energy are the same it is called Kinetic energy. The temperature is what makes up the average particles in motion which are in all atoms.
A device used to calculate the amount of heat energy stored in foods?
the device used to measure specific heat is called a joule
What is the latent heat of fusion?
The amount of energy it takes to boil a substance
What is the amount of energy needed to change the temp of a substance called?
The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius
Lighting a match changes chemical energy into heat and light The total amount of energy?
Lighting a match changes chemical energy into heat and light. The total amount of energy
A unit of heat that measures the energy in foods?
calories.
A unit of heat that measures the energy available in foods?
calories.
What does the enthalpy reaction measures?
The amount of energy that is used or released as heat in a reaction.
What is a thermometer used to measure?
Temperature measures relative energy of an object. It does not measure heat. The amount of heat (energy) depends on the size of the object, the nature of the material / its heat capacity.

What is the relation between heat and temperature?
The difference between heat and temperature is that heat is the amount of energy given off by a piece of matter, and Specific Heat indicates the amount of heat necessary to change 1g of something by 1 degree. Temperature measures change in heat.

What is one of the earliest measures of heat energy?
thermal
What are the advantages of heat energy?
Heat energy is the amount of heat used to energize or to produce heat.
What is a hypothesis statement that can be used to explain that a calorimetry can be used to detect the amount o energy stored in the chemical bonds of foods?
A hypothesis statement could be: "Calorimetry can be used to detect the amount of energy stored in the chemical bonds of foods, as the heat produced during the combustion of food can be measured and equated to the energy content. By conducting calorimetric experiments and analyzing the heat released, we can determine the energy content of various foods and understand the relationship between the chemical bonds in the food and the energy it holds."
