How to Convert Joule to Calorie (thermochemical)

1 joule = 0.239006 calories (thermochemical) exact

Calorie (thermochemical) = Joule × 0.239006

Example: 10000 J × 0.239006 = 2390.1 cal

Reverse Conversion

To convert calories (thermochemical) back to Joules:

  • Remember, 1 calorie (thermochemical) equals 4.184 Joules.
  • To convert 2390.1 cal to J, multiply 2390.1 x 4.184, resulting in 10000 J.

exact This conversion factor is exact by international definition.

10000 J is also equal to:

  • 10 kilojoule
  • 0.0027778 kilowatt hour
  • 2.3901 calorie (nutritional)
  • 9.4782 Btu
  • 2.7778 watt hour
