How to Convert Joule to Calorie (thermochemical)

1 joule = 0.239006 calories (thermochemical) exact

Calorie (thermochemical) = Joule × 0.239006

Example: 100 J × 0.239006 = 23.901 cal

Reverse Conversion

To convert calories (thermochemical) back to Joules:

  • Remember, 1 calorie (thermochemical) equals 4.184 Joules.
  • To convert 23.901 cal to J, multiply 23.901 x 4.184, resulting in 100 J.

exact This conversion factor is exact by international definition.
