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 watt hour?

A watt hour is a unit of energy equal to the power of one watt sustained for one hour. It is used to measure small amounts of electrical energy consumption, particularly in battery capacities and portable electronics.

Worked examples

1 calorie (thermochemical) = 0.00116222 watt hour

1 watt hour = 3,600 joule
