thermochemical calorie per gram kelvin to kilojoule per kilogram kelvin
Convert thermochemical calorie per gram kelvin (cal/(g·K)) to kilojoule per kilogram kelvin (kJ/(kg·K)). Use an editable specific heat capacity converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 cal/(g·K) = 4.184 kJ/(kg·K)
Conversion formula
One thermochemical calorie per gram kelvin equals 4.184 kilojoule per kilogram kelvin. Multiply your value in thermochemical calorie per gram kelvin by this factor to get kilojoule per kilogram kelvin. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 thermochemical calorie per gram kelvin:5 × 4.184 = 20.92 kJ/(kg·K)

About these measurements
Specific heat capacity is heat capacity per unit mass.
The base reference used here is the joule per kilogram kelvin. One thermochemical calorie per gram kelvin is 4,184 base units; one kilojoule per kilogram kelvin is 1,000 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 cal/(g·K) to kJ/(kg·K)?
