What are Kilocalorie and Attojoule

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie, often referred to as a 'large calorie,' is a unit of energy widely used in the field of nutrition to represent the amount of energy obtained from food. It is equivalent to 1,000 small calories, which are the heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. In scientific contexts, it is also known as a 'Calorie' with an uppercase 'C.' Measuring energy in kilocalories helps ascertain the energy content in food and the energy expenditure in various physical activities, aiding in maintaining energy balance and understanding dietary needs.

Definition of Attojoule

An attojoule is an extremely small unit of energy, part of the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to 10^-18 joules, where one joule is the energy transferred when a force of one newton acts over a distance of one meter. Attojoules are typically used in scientific fields that deal with minuscule energy transactions, such as molecular physics, nanotechnology, and quantum mechanics. Due to its diminutive scale, the attojoule is crucial for accurate energy measurements in experiments involving particles and processes at the atomic and subatomic levels.

Conversion of Kilocalorie to Attojoule

1 kcal/min = 7.0042 × 10^17 aJ/s
1 aJ/s = 1.42857 × 10^-18 kcal/min

Example 1:
convert 5 kcal/min to aJ/s:
5 kcal/min = 5 × 7.0042 × 10^17 aJ/s = 3.5021 × 10^18 aJ/s

Example 2:
convert 3.5 kcal/min to aJ/s:
3.5 kcal/min = 3.5 × 7.0042 × 10^17 aJ/s = 2.45147 × 10^18 aJ/s

History of Kilocalorie and Attojoule

The Kilocalorie (IT)/minute to Attojoule/second Converter emerged from the need to bridge traditional energy units with modern scientific measurements.
