How to convert from joules to energy

Joules to thermochemical calories

1 cal_th = 4.184 J

The strength in thermochemical calories E_(calth) is equal to the power in joules E_(J) divided with the aid of four.184:

E_(cal) = E_(J) / 4.184

Example

Convert 600 joules to thermochemical calories.

E_(cal) = 600J / 4.184 = 143.Four cal_th

Joules to fifteen°C calories

1 cal₁₅ = 4.1855 J

The strength in 15°C calories E_(cal15) is same to the power in joules E_(J) divided through four.1855:

E_(cal15) = E_(J) / four.1855

Example

Convert 600 joules to 15°C energy.

E_(cal15) = 600J / four.1855 = 143.352 cal₁₅

Joules to massive/food calories

1 Cal = 4.184 kJ = 4184 J

The energy in huge/meals energy E_(Cal) is same to the power in joules E_(J) divided with the aid of 4184:

E_(Cal) = E_(J) / 4184

Example

Convert 600 joules to meals calories.

E_(Cal) = 600J / 4184 = zero.1434 Cal
