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.
The amount of temperature increase also depends on the kind of material you are heating. It takes different amounts of energy to raise the temperature of different materials. You need to add 4,184 joules of heat to 1 kilogram of water to raise the temperature by 1Â°C. large specific heat means you have to put in a lot of energy for each degree increase in temperature. Specific heat is measured in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (joule/kgÂ°C) which means how many joules it takes to raise 1kg of the substance 1Â°C.
