What does 1 joule/gram/°C represent?

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

Why convert to kilocalorie (th)/kilogram/K?

This unit is commonly used in thermochemical and engineering fields involving larger mass quantities and facilitates consistent energy estimation.

Are degree Celsius and kelvin interchangeable in this conversion?

The conversion assumes equivalence for interval changes, but the temperature scales themselves are not identical.
