Calories to Kilojoules Calculator
Calories to Kilojoules Calculator: This Calories to Kilojoules Calculator helps you convert energy values from calories to kilojoules. Use this tool to quickly determine the equivalent energy value in kilojoules for various types of calories. This is particularly useful for those interested in energy calculations for nutritional purposes or scientific applications.
Formula:
Thermochemical calories to kJ: E(kJ) = E(calth) / 239.005736
15°C calories to kJ: E(kJ) = E(cal15) / 238.9201
Large/food calories to kJ: E(kJ) = 4.184 × E(Cal)
How to use:
1. Enter the energy value in calories.
2. Select the calorie unit type.
3. Click "Convert" to get the result in kilojoules.
4. The result will be displayed in a table format below.
5. Click "Clear" to reset the form.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are thermochemical calories?
Thermochemical calories are units of energy used to measure heat energy in chemistry. They are different from food calories and are used in scientific contexts.
-
What are 15°C calories?
15°C calories refer to a specific definition of calories used in scientific contexts, where the calorie is defined at a temperature of 15°C.
-
What are large/food calories?
Large or food calories are commonly used to measure the energy content of food. They are equivalent to 1000 thermochemical calories.
-
Why do we need to convert calories to kilojoules?
Converting calories to kilojoules is important for scientific, nutritional, and international standards as different countries use different units of measurement.
-
How accurate is the calculator?
The calculator provides accurate conversions based on standard conversion factors. However, precision may vary slightly depending on rounding.
