Kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius to joule per kilogram-kelvin Conversion
1 kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius (kcal/kg⋅°C) is equal to 4184 joule per kilogram-kelvin (J/kg⋅K).
1 kcal/kg⋅°C = 4184 J/kg⋅K
or
1 J/kg⋅K = 0.0002390057361 kcal/kg⋅°C
Formula
To convert a specific heat capacity from kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius (kcal/kg⋅°C) to joule per kilogram-kelvin (J/kg⋅K), multiply the specific heat capacity in kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius by 4184
s(J/kg⋅K) = s(kcal/kg⋅°C) × 4184
Examples:
Convert 1 kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius to joule per kilogram-kelvin:
s(J/kg⋅K) = 1kcal/kg⋅°C × 4184 = 4184 J/kg⋅K
