Convert calorie to celsius heat unit

Learn how to convert 1 calorie to celsius heat unit step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c a l o r i e) = x (c e l s i u s h e a t u n i t)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (c a l o r i e) = 4.184 (j o u l e) = 4.184 (J)

Right side: 1.0 (c e l s i u s h e a t u n i t) = 1899.100534716 (j o u l e) = 1899.100534716 (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c a l o r i e) = x (c e l s i u s h e a t u n i t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.184 \times (j o u l e) = x \times 1899.100534716 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.184 \cdot (J) = x \cdot 1899.100534716 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.184 \cdot (J) = x \times 1899.100534716 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

4.184 = x \times 1899.100534716

Switch sides

x \times 1899.100534716 = 4.184

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1899.100534716})

x \times 1899.100534716 \times \frac{1.0}{1899.100534716} = 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{1899.100534716}

Cancel

x \times 1899.100534716 \times \frac{1.0}{1899.100534716} = 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{1899.100534716}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.184}{1899.100534716}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0022031482 \approx 2.2031 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c a l o r i e) \approx 2.2031 \times 10^{- 3} (c e l s i u s h e a t u n i t)
