What is calorie (thermochemical)?

The thermochemical calorie is a unit of energy equal to approximately 4.184 joules. It is used in chemistry and physics to express small heat quantities, particularly in thermochemical experiments.

What is electronvolt?

An electronvolt is a unit of energy equal to the work done on an electron by a potential difference of one volt, approximately 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ joules. It is used in atomic physics, particle physics, and quantum mechanics.

Worked examples

1 calorie (thermochemical) = 2.611447e+19 electronvolt
