About the units
Calorie per gram °C (cal/(g⋅°C))
The calorie per gram °C (cal/(g⋅°C)) is a unit of specific heat capacity. One calorie per gram °C equals 4,184 joules per kilogram kelvin (J/(kg⋅K)).
Kilojoule per kilogram kelvin (kJ/(kg⋅K))
The kilojoule per kilogram kelvin (kJ/(kg⋅K)) is a unit of specific heat capacity in the International System of Units (SI). One kilojoule per kilogram kelvin equals 1,000 joules per kilogram kelvin (J/(kg⋅K)).
Frequently asked questions
How many kilojoules per kilogram kelvin are in one calorie per gram °C?
There are 4.184 kilojoules per kilogram kelvin in one calorie per gram °C, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert calories per gram °C to kilojoules per kilogram kelvin?
Multiply the number of calories per gram °C by 4.184. For example, 10 cal/(g⋅°C) × 4.184 = 41.84 kJ/(kg⋅K).
How many calories per gram °C are in one kilojoule per kilogram kelvin?
One kilojoule per kilogram kelvin equals 0.2390057361 calories per gram °C. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 4.184.
What is 10 calories per gram °C in kilojoules per kilogram kelvin?
10 cal/(g⋅°C) = 41.84 kJ/(kg⋅K).
Is this cal/(g⋅°C) to kJ/(kg⋅K) converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
