Units for Measuring Energy or Heat
Heat is measured in joules or calories.
4.184 Joules (J) = 1 calorie (cal) (exact)
1 kJ = 1000 J
1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 1000 calories (cal)

Learning Check
How many calories are obtained from a pat of butter
if it provides 150 J of energy when metabolized?

Solution
How many calories are obtained is a pat of butter
if it provides 150 J of energy when metabolized?
Given:
Need:
Plan:
Equality:
Set Up:
150 J
calories
J  cal
1 cal = 4.184 J
150 J x 1 cal = 36 cal
4.184 J
