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

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

Formula: J/(g·°C) = kJ/(kg·K) × 1

Reverse: kJ/(kg·K) = J/(g·°C) × 1

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Kilojoule/Kilogram-Kelvin. For example: 5 kJ/(kg·K)
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 1
The result is: 5 J/(g·°C)
