Answer and Explanation:
Calorie is the unit of heat energy . There are 2 units with the same name 'calorie' which is widely used.
'The amount of heat energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by mass by or 1 K is known as small calorie or gram calorie'.
Another one is large calorie which can be defined as :
'The amount of heat energy required to make arise in temperature of water 1 kg by mass by or 1 K is known as large calorie or kilcalorie and is represented as Cal or kcal'.
After the adoption of SI system, thee units of the metric system cal, C or kilocal are considered deprecated or obsolete with the SI unit for heat energy as 'joule or J'
1 cal = 4.184 J
1C or 1 kilocal = 4184 J
Calorimeter constant:
Calorimeter constant, represented as '' is used to quantify the heat capacity or the amount of heat of a calorimeter.
It can be calculated by ther given formula:
where,
= corresponding temperature change
= enthalpy change
Its unit is J/K or J/1^{\circ}C[/tex] which can be convertyed to cal/1^{\circ}C[/tex] by dividing the calorimeter constant by 4.184 or 4184 accordingly.
