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

1 calorie per gram-degree Celsius (cal/g⋅°C) is equal to 4184 joule per kilogram-degree Celsius (J/kg⋅°C).

1 cal/g⋅°C = 4184 J/kg⋅°C

or

1 J/kg⋅°C = 0.0002390057361 cal/g⋅°C

Formula

To convert a specific heat capacity from calorie per gram-degree Celsius (cal/g⋅°C) to joule per kilogram-degree Celsius (J/kg⋅°C), multiply the specific heat capacity in calorie per gram-degree Celsius by 4184

s(J/kg⋅°C) = s(cal/g⋅°C) × 4184

Examples:

Convert 250 calorie per gram-degree Celsius to joule per kilogram-degree Celsius:

s(J/kg⋅°C) = 250cal/g⋅°C × 4184 = 1046000 J/kg⋅°C
