What does 1 calorie (IT)/second represent?

It represents the rate of energy transfer involving one International Table calorie of heat energy transferred every second.

Why convert from calorie (IT)/second to calorie (IT)/minute?

Converting to calorie (IT)/minute provides a more granular time frame useful in periods typically used in laboratory or physiological measurements.

Is calorie (IT) still a common unit today?

Calorie (IT) is largely a historical unit; modern applications often require conversion to SI units such as watts.
