What is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree celsius?

The small calorie, symbol cal (note the lower case c) is the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius at 1 atmosphere of pressure. The small calorie is a pre SI metric unit of energy. In SI terms it is equivalent to about 4.2 Joules of energy. The small calorie is also called the gram calorie. If the subject is physics, calorie refers to the gram calorie, the small calorie.The large Calorie (note the upper case C) is the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius at one atmosphere of pressure. When the subject is diet, such as food nutritional data, Calorie always means the large Calorie, the kilogram Calorie.The existence of these two different but related units with the same name is confusing and is an invitation to error. This is unfortunate, but the kilo Calorie is deeply embedded in nutritional literature, and the gram Calorie is embedded in early physics literature, so we are stuck with this situation.If you are doing physics, try to stay with SI units.1 joule is needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celcius.


Is calorie compound or element?
