Calorie per gram-degree Celsius to joule per gram-degree Celsius Conversion

1 calorie per gram-degree Celsius (cal/g⋅°C) is equal to 4.184 joule per gram-degree Celsius (J/g⋅°C).

1 cal/g⋅°C = 4.184 J/g⋅°C

or

1 J/g⋅°C = 0.2390057361 cal/g⋅°C

Formula

To convert a specific heat capacity from calorie per gram-degree Celsius (cal/g⋅°C) to joule per gram-degree Celsius (J/g⋅°C), multiply the specific heat capacity in calorie per gram-degree Celsius by 4.184

s(J/g⋅°C) = s(cal/g⋅°C) × 4.184

Examples:

Convert 100 calorie per gram-degree Celsius to joule per gram-degree Celsius:

s(J/g⋅°C) = 100cal/g⋅°C × 4.184 = 418.4 J/g⋅°C
