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