Convert calorie to thermie

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c a l o r i e) = x (t h e r m i e)

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) = 4.19 (j o u l e) = 4.19 (J)

Right side: 1.0 (t h e r m i e) = 4.1868 \times 10^{6} (j o u l e) = 4.1868 \times 10^{6} (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c a l o r i e) = x (t h e r m i e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.19 \times (j o u l e) = x \times 4.1868 \times 10^{6} \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.19 \cdot (J) = x \cdot 4.1868 \times 10^{6} \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.19 \cdot (J) = x \times 4.1868 \times 10^{6} \times (J)

Conversion Equation

4.19 = x \times 4.1868 \times 10^{6}

Switch sides

x \times 4.1868 \times 10^{6} = 4.19

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.1868 \times 10^{6}})

x \times 4.1868 \times 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{4.1868 \times 10^{6}} = 4.19 \times \frac{1.0}{4.1868 \times 10^{6}}

Cancel

x \times 4.1868 \times 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{4.1868 \times 10^{6}} = 4.19 \times \frac{1.0}{4.1868 \times 10^{6}}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.19}{4.1868 \times 10^{6}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{6}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 6}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 6} \times 4.19}{4.1868}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000010008 \approx 1.0008 \times 10^{- 6}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c a l o r i e) \approx 1.0008 \times 10^{- 6} (t h e r m i e)
