What are Ton and Kilocalorie

Definition of Ton

A 'Ton' in the context of explosives is a unit of energy equal to the energy released by detonating one ton of TNT. This unit is often used to quantify the energy of explosions and is equivalent to 4.184 gigajoules. The term 'Ton' here does not refer to weight but to an equivalent energy measure.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A 'Kilocalorie' is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of nutrition and chemistry. One Kilocalorie, symbolized as 'kcal', is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. It is equivalent to 1,000 small calories.
