Joule/Gram-°C (J/(g·°C))

Specific Heat Capacity

Exact conversion

Derived quantity, joule per kilogram-kelvin (J/(kg·K)). Calorie- and BTU-based units use the thermochemical calorie (4.184 J exactly) and the International Table BTU.

How to Convert Joule/Gram-°C to Kilojoule/Kilogram-Kelvin

To convert from Joule/Gram-°C (J/(g·°C)) to Kilojoule/Kilogram-Kelvin (kJ/(kg·K)), multiply the value by 1.

Formula: kJ/(kg·K) = J/(g·°C) × 1

Reverse: J/(g·°C) = kJ/(kg·K) × 1

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 1
The result is: 5 kJ/(kg·K)

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.
