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.
Calories is the more common SI unit for heat energy. Because they are both measuring energy we can easily convert one to another. 4.184 joules = 1 calorie The specific heat is a property of a substance that tells us how much heat is needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a material by one degree Celsius.he specific heat is the energy that will raise the temperature of one kilogram by 1Â°C. 1. If 100 joules of energy were applied to all of the substances listed in the table at the same time, which would heat up fastest? Explain your answer.
