Conversion Formulas
J/kg·K → J/g·°C: J/g·°C = J/kg·K ÷ 1000
J/kg·K → cal/g·°C: cal/g·°C = J/kg·K ÷ 4184
J/g·°C → J/kg·K: J/kg·K = J/g·°C × 1000
cal/g·°C → J/kg·K: J/kg·K = cal/g·°C × 4184
FAQ
What is specific heat capacity?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass of a substance by one degree. It's measured in J/kg·K.
Why is water's specific heat capacity high?
Water has a high specific heat capacity (4184 J/kg·K) due to hydrogen bonding, which requires significant energy to break when heating.
