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 50 calorie per gram-degree Celsius to joule per gram-degree Celsius:
s(J/g⋅°C) = 50cal/g⋅°C × 4.184 = 209.2 J/g⋅°C
