Joule per kilogram-degree Celsius to calorie per gram-degree Celsius Conversion

1 joule per kilogram-degree Celsius (J/kg⋅°C) is equal to 0.0002390057361 calorie per gram-degree Celsius (cal/g⋅°C).

1 J/kg⋅°C = 0.0002390057361 cal/g⋅°C

or

1 cal/g⋅°C = 4184 J/kg⋅°C

Formula

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

s(cal/g⋅°C) = s(J/kg⋅°C) / 4184

Examples:

Convert 100 joule per kilogram-degree Celsius to calorie per gram-degree Celsius:

s(cal/g⋅°C) = 100J/kg⋅°C / 4184 = 0.02390057361 cal/g⋅°C
