Joule per gram-degree Celsius to kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius Conversion
1 joule per gram-degree Celsius (J/g⋅°C) is equal to 0.2390057361 kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius (kcal/kg⋅°C).
1 J/g⋅°C = 0.2390057361 kcal/kg⋅°C
or
1 kcal/kg⋅°C = 4.184 J/g⋅°C
Formula
To convert a specific heat capacity from joule per gram-degree Celsius (J/g⋅°C) to kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius (kcal/kg⋅°C), divide the specific heat capacity in joule per gram-degree Celsius by 4.184
s(kcal/kg⋅°C) = s(J/g⋅°C) / 4.184
Examples:
Convert 1000 joule per gram-degree Celsius to kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius:
s(kcal/kg⋅°C) = 1000J/g⋅°C / 4.184 = 239.0057361 kcal/kg⋅°C
