How to Convert Joule/Gram-°C to Kilocalorie/Kilogram-°C

To convert from Joule/Gram-°C (J/(g·°C)) to Kilocalorie/Kilogram-°C (kcal/(kg·°C)), multiply the value by 0.2390057361.

Formula: kcal/(kg·°C) = J/(g·°C) × 0.2390057361

Reverse: J/(g·°C) = kcal/(kg·°C) × 4.184

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Joule/Gram-°C. For example: 5 J/(g·°C)
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 0.2390057361
The result is: 1.195029 kcal/(kg·°C)

About Joule/Gram-°C

The joule/gram-°c (J/(g·°C)) is a unit of specific heat capacity. One joule/gram-°c equals 1000 base units. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other specific heat capacity unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: specific heat capacity calculations, engineering and science, education.
