Joules per kilogram-kelvin to calories per gram-°C
Type a value in J/(kg·K) to get it in cal/(g·°C) instantly.
0.239cal/(g·°C)
That's 1.11× as much heat as aluminum, while air is 1.01× higher. Warming one kilogram by 10 °C takes about 10,000 J.
Convert the other way: cal/(g·°C) to J/(kg·K)
What it means
How much heat does it hold?
Values are at room temperature and constant pressure. Gases differ between constant pressure and constant volume.
The math
How to convert J/(kg·K) to cal/(g·°C)
To convert joules per kilogram-kelvin to calories per gram-°C, multiply by 0.000239006.
Example: 1,000 J/(kg·K) × 0.000239006 = 0.239006 cal/(g·°C).
In the other direction, 1 cal/(g·°C) = 4,184 J/(kg·K).
