Kilojoules per kilogram-kelvin to Joules per gram-degree Celsius

Snapshot

1 Kilojoules per kilogram-kelvin equals 1 Joules per gram-degree Celsius. Conversion Encyclopedia uses the same fixed conversion basis across the calculator, common values, and reverse page for this page.

Reference basis: This conversion uses a fixed factor based on physics reference unit model.
Example: For 0.1 Kilojoules per kilogram-kelvin, the result equals 0.1 Joules per gram-degree Celsius.
Use the reverse page if you need the opposite direction with the same basis.

Full API documentation

Explanation

Formula: Joules per gram-degree Celsius = Kilojoules per kilogram-kelvin × 1. Why: one degree Celsius and one kelvin are equal as temperature intervals, so this route only changes the energy and mass basis after reducing both units to the same thermal-capacity reference.

Kilojoules per kilogram-kelvin (kJ/(kg·K)): the same kilogram-kelvin heat-capacity basis scaled to kilojoules, often used in engineering and materials tables.

Joules per gram-degree Celsius (J/(g·°C)): a metric specific heat capacity unit that uses grams and Celsius intervals, common in chemistry and smaller-scale thermal data.

This route is useful when switching between kilogram-based and gram-based thermal property reporting in laboratory, chemistry, and materials documentation.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through one joules-per-kilogram-kelvin basis, and temperature intervals are handled as fixed scale relationships with no offset term.
