What are Kilocalorie and Hartree

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie (kcal), commonly referred to in the context of food energy, is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at one atmosphere of pressure. It is equivalent to 1,000 calories, where the calorie is historically defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.

Definition of Hartree

The Hartree, also known as the atomic unit of energy, is a physical constant named after the physicist Douglas Hartree. It is used primarily in quantum chemistry and atomic physics. One Hartree represents the potential energy between two hydrogen atoms in their ground state and is equivalent to twice the binding energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom. The Hartree is a large unit of energy when compared to everyday scales, and its value is approximately 4.3597447222071 x 10^-18 joules.
