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 500 calorie per gram-degree Celsius to joule per kilogram-degree Celsius:
s(J/kg⋅°C) = 500cal/g⋅°C × 4184 = 2092000 J/kg⋅°C
