What does 1 J/(kg·°C) represent in this conversion?

It represents the heat energy needed to raise one kilogram of a substance by one degree Celsius, used as the base unit for converting to Btu (IT)/pound/°R.

Why do we treat °C and °R increments as equivalent?

Because Celsius and Rankine degree increments have the same magnitude, simplifying conversion between these temperature units in heat capacity calculations.

Can this converter be used for properties other than specific heat capacity?

No, it is specifically designed for converting specific heat capacity units and may not apply accurately to other thermodynamic properties.
