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.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms/molecules in a substance. But the atoms/molecules in a substance also have potential energy, mostly due to attractive forces between the particles. calorie = the heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 o C. 1000 calories = 1 dietary calorie (or Calorie with a capital C), enough energy to. raise the temperature of 1 liter of water 1 o C. A Big Mac has 570 dietary Calories, or 570,000 calories.
