Is the conversion rate between calorie (th)/gram/°C and Btu (th)/pound/°F exact?

Yes, for thermochemical calorie and thermochemical Btu definitions, the conversion rate is equivalently one-to-one.

Can this converter be used for all substances?

This converter is best suited for water-like substances; other materials may need adjustments due to different thermal properties.

Why do some sources use different calorie definitions?

Various definitions exist, but this tool only applies to the thermochemical calorie relevant in specific heat capacity calculations.
