FAQs
The formula to convert Joules to different types of calories is as follows:
- For thermochemical calories:
- For 15°C calories:
- For food calories:
- For thermochemical calories:
E(cal) = E(J) / 4.184- For 15°C calories:
E(cal15) = E(J) / 4.1855- For food calories:
E(Cal) = E(J) / 4184Small calorie (cal) measures the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C, while large calorie (Cal) or food calorie measures the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1°C.
The calculator provides accurate results based on the provided formulas and constants. For precise scientific applications, ensure to use exact constants and consider rounding effects.
