What are Kilocalorie and Microjoule

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie, often referred to as a Calorie with a capital 'C', represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at one atmosphere of pressure. This unit of energy is commonly used in the field of nutrition to denote the energy content of foods and beverages. In scientific contexts, it is also known as the kilocalorie (IT), where 'IT' stands for International Table. This version of the kilocalorie is slightly larger than the thermochemical kilocalorie due to the adoption of different water heat capacity values.

Definition of Microjoule

A microjoule is a unit of energy that is equal to one-millionth of a joule. In the context of physics and engineering, the joule is the standard unit of energy, work, or amount of heat in the International System of Units (SI). The prefix 'micro-' denotes a factor of 10^-6, making the microjoule particularly useful for quantifying very small amounts of energy. This unit is often used in scientific studies dealing with microscopic energy exchanges, electronics, and quantum physics where precision and detail are crucial.
