What does joule per gram per degree Celsius measure?

It measures the amount of energy in joules needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Why convert from J/(g*°C) to CHU/(lb*°C)?

This conversion is useful for translating specific heat capacity values when switching between metric and imperial mass units while maintaining Celsius temperature increments.

Does this conversion account for temperature changes or phase transitions?

No, it is a direct unit conversion assuming constant specific heat without accounting for temperature or phase-related variations.
