Answer 1

Hey friend,

Here's your answer,


In general, we have two units of heat. They are :-


✴ Calorie

✴ Kilo calorie


For lower units, calorie is used. While for upper units, we use kilo calorie.


Now, the answer of this question is :-


✔ One calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1° Celsius. That is, from, 14.5°C to 15.5°C.


________________________________

Moreover, if we would have 1kg in place of 1 g, we would have :-

One kilo calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C, i.e. from, 14.5°C to 15.5°C.


And,

The relation between calorie and kilo calorie is :-


1 Kilocalorie = 1000 calories



Hope this helps!!!
