Convert gallon atmosphere to calorie

Learn how to convert 1 gallon atmosphere to calorie step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (g a l l o n a t m o s p h e r e) = x (c a l o r 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 (g a l l o n a t m o s p h e r e) = 460.63256925 (j o u l e) = 460.63256925 (J)

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

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 460.63256925 \times (j o u l e) = x \times 4.184 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 460.63256925 \cdot (J) = x \cdot 4.184 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 460.63256925 \cdot (J) = x \times 4.184 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

460.63256925 = x \times 4.184

Switch sides

x \times 4.184 = 460.63256925

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.184})

x \times 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184} = 460.63256925 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184}

Cancel

x \times 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184} = 460.63256925 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184}

Simplify

x = \frac{460.63256925}{4.184}

Solve

x

x \approx 110.0938263 \approx 1.1009 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (g a l l o n a t m o s p h e r e) \approx 1.1009 \times 10^{2} (c a l o r i e)
