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 500 kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius to joule per kilogram-kelvin:

s(J/kg⋅K) = 500kcal/kg⋅°C × 4184 = 2092000 J/kg⋅K
