Formulas for Conversion
The conversion formulas from calories to joules are as follows:
- Small Thermochemical Calories: 1 calth = 4.184 J
Formula: E(J) = 4.184 × E(calth) - Large/Food Calories: 1 Cal = 4184 J
Formula: E(J) = 4184 × E(Cal) - Small 15°C Calories: 1 cal15 = 4.1855 J
Formula: E(J) = 4.1855 × E(cal15)
Example Calculations:
- If you enter 300 small thermochemical calories:
Energy (J) = 4.184 × 300 = 1255.2 J - If you enter 0.3 large/food calories:
Energy (J) = 4184 × 0.3 = 1255.2 J - If you enter 300 small 15°C calories:
Energy (J) = 4.1855 × 300 = 1255.65 J
