erg per kelvin to thermochemical kilocalorie per kelvin
Convert erg per kelvin (erg/K) to thermochemical kilocalorie per kelvin (kcal/K). Use an editable entropy converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 erg/K = 2.39005736e-11 kcal/K
Conversion formula
One erg per kelvin equals 2.39005736e-11 thermochemical kilocalorie per kelvin. Multiply your value in erg per kelvin by this factor to get thermochemical kilocalorie per kelvin. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 erg per kelvin:5 × 2.39005736e-11 = 1.19502868e-10 kcal/K

About these measurements
Entropy is a thermodynamic state quantity with units of energy per temperature.
The base reference used here is the joule per kelvin. One erg per kelvin is 1e-7 base units; one thermochemical kilocalorie per kelvin is 4,184 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert erg/K to kcal/K?
Multiply the quantity in erg/K by 2.39005736e-11. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the thermochemical kilocalorie per kelvin to erg per kelvin converter.
