How to convert from joules to calories

Joules to thermochemical calories

2 calth = 8.368 J

The energy in thermochemical calories E(calth) is equal to the energy in joules E(J) divided by 4.184:

E(cal) = E(J) / 8.368

Example 1

Convert 500 joules to thermochemical calories.

E(cal) = 500J / 4.184 = 119.5 calth

Example 2

Convert 1500 joules to thermochemical calories.

E(cal) = 1500J / 4.184 = 358.5 calth

Example 3

Convert 2500 joules to thermochemical calories.

E(cal) = 2500J / 4.184 = 597.5 calth

Joules to 15°C calories

1 cal15 = 4.1855 J

The energy in 15°C calories E(cal15) is equal to the energy in joules E(J) divided by 4.1855:

E(cal15) = E(J) / 4.1855

Example 1

Convert 500 joules to 15°C calories.

E(cal15) = 500J / 4.1855 = 119.460 cal15

Example 2

Convert 100 joules to 15°C calories.

E(cal15) = 100J / 4.1855 = 238.920 cal15

Example 3

Convert 1500 joules to 15°C calories.

E(cal15) = 1500J / 4.1855 = 358.380 cal15

Joules to large/food calories

1 Cal = 4.184 kJ = 4184 J

The energy in large/food calories E(Cal) is equal to the energy in joules E(J) divided by 4184:

E(Cal) = E(J) / 4184

Example 1

Convert 500 joules to food calories.

E(Cal) = 500J / 4184 = 0.1195 Cal

Example 2

Convert 800 joules to food calories.

E(Cal) = 800J / 4184 = 0.1912 Cal

Example 3

Convert 1500 joules to food calories.

E(Cal) = 1500J / 4184 = 0.3585 Cal
