Kilojoule per kilogram-kelvin to calorie per gram-degree Celsius Conversion

1 kilojoule per kilogram-kelvin (kJ/kg⋅K) is equal to 0.2390057361 calorie per gram-degree Celsius (cal/g⋅°C).

1 kJ/kg⋅K = 0.2390057361 cal/g⋅°C

or

1 cal/g⋅°C = 4.184 kJ/kg⋅K

Formula

To convert a specific heat capacity from kilojoule per kilogram-kelvin (kJ/kg⋅K) to calorie per gram-degree Celsius (cal/g⋅°C), divide the specific heat capacity in kilojoule per kilogram-kelvin by 4.184

s(cal/g⋅°C) = s(kJ/kg⋅K) / 4.184

Examples:

Convert 1000 kilojoule per kilogram-kelvin to calorie per gram-degree Celsius:

s(cal/g⋅°C) = 1000kJ/kg⋅K / 4.184 = 239.0057361 cal/g⋅°C
