 Explanation: 
Detailed explanation-1: -One calorie is the amount of heat required at a pressure of one atmosphere to raise the temperature of 1 g of water from 14.5∘C to 15.5∘C at standard pressure. However, the value is approximately the same for 1∘C rise at any temperature.
Detailed explanation-2: -One calorie is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gm of water by 1oC in a certain interval of temperature and at certain pressure.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hence the heat required to increase 1° Celsius temperature of one-kilogram water is 1000 calorie.
