Convert Calorie (small calorie) to Joule
Unit definitions
Calorie (small calorie)
The small calorie is the thermal energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. It is equal to $4.184 \ \text{J}$.
Joule
The joule is the SI unit of energy. It is defined as the work done when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter.
How to convert Calorie (small calorie) to Joule
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = \text{Energy}_{\text{cal}} \cdot 4.184$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $25.0\ \text{cal}$ to $\text{J}$.
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 25.0 \cdot 4.184$$
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 104.6$$
$$\therefore \ 25.0\ \text{cal} = 104.6 \ \text{J}$$
Example 2
Convert $75.0\ \text{cal}$ to $\text{J}$.
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 75.0 \cdot 4.184$$
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 313.8$$
$$\therefore \ 75.0\ \text{cal} = 313.8 \ \text{J}$$
Example 3
Convert $115.0\ \text{cal}$ to $\text{J}$.
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 115.0 \cdot 4.184$$
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 481.16$$
$$\therefore \ 115.0\ \text{cal} = 481.16 \ \text{J}$$
Example 4
Convert $145.0\ \text{cal}$ to $\text{J}$.
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 145.0 \cdot 4.184$$
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 606.68$$
$$\therefore \ 145.0\ \text{cal} = 606.68 \ \text{J}$$
Example 5
Convert $175.0\ \text{cal}$ to $\text{J}$.
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 175.0 \cdot 4.184$$
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 732.2$$
$$\therefore \ 175.0\ \text{cal} = 732.2 \ \text{J}$$
