Calorie per gram-degree Celsius to kilojoule per kilogram-kelvin Conversion
1 calorie per gram-degree Celsius (cal/g⋅°C) is equal to 4.184 kilojoule per kilogram-kelvin (kJ/kg⋅K).
1 cal/g⋅°C = 4.184 kJ/kg⋅K
or
1 kJ/kg⋅K = 0.2390057361 cal/g⋅°C
Formula
To convert a specific heat capacity from calorie per gram-degree Celsius (cal/g⋅°C) to kilojoule per kilogram-kelvin (kJ/kg⋅K), multiply the specific heat capacity in calorie per gram-degree Celsius by 4.184
s(kJ/kg⋅K) = s(cal/g⋅°C) × 4.184
Examples:
Convert 1000 calorie per gram-degree Celsius to kilojoule per kilogram-kelvin:
s(kJ/kg⋅K) = 1000cal/g⋅°C × 4.184 = 4184 kJ/kg⋅K
