Convert calorie to rydberg

Learn how to convert 1 calorie to rydberg step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c a l o r i e) = x (r y d b e r g)

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) = 4.1868 (j o u l e) = 4.1868 (J)

Right side: 1.0 (r y d b e r g) = 2.179872 \times 10^{- 18} (j o u l e) = 2.179872 \times 10^{- 18} (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c a l o r i e) = x (r y d b e r g)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.1868 \times (j o u l e) = x \times 2.179872 \times 10^{- 18} \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.1868 \cdot (J) = x \cdot 2.179872 \times 10^{- 18} \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.1868 \cdot (J) = x \times 2.179872 \times 10^{- 18} \times (J)

Conversion Equation

4.1868 = x \times 2.179872 \times 10^{- 18}

Switch sides

x \times 2.179872 \times 10^{- 18} = 4.1868

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.179872 \times 10^{- 18}})

x \times 2.179872 \times 10^{- 18} \times \frac{1.0}{2.179872 \times 10^{- 18}} = 4.1868 \times \frac{1.0}{2.179872 \times 10^{- 18}}

Cancel

x \times 2.179872 \times 10^{- 18} \times \frac{1.0}{2.179872 \times 10^{- 18}} = 4.1868 \times \frac{1.0}{2.179872 \times 10^{- 18}}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.1868}{2.179872 \times 10^{- 18}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 18}} can be rewritten to 10^{18}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{18} \times 4.1868}{2.179872}

Solve

x

x \approx 1.9206632316 \times 10^{18} \approx 1.9207 \times 10^{18}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c a l o r i e) \approx 1.9207 \times 10^{18} (r y d b e r g)
