kilocalorie (th) to joule
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th) [kcal (th)] to joule [J], or change ↔.
kilocalorie (th) [kcal (th)]
Definition: A kilocalorie (th) is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 kilojoules.
Historyandorigin: It is based on the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
CurrentUse: It is used to measure the energy content of food.
funfact: One kilocalorie (th) is equivalent to 1,000 small calories.
joule [J]
Definition: The joule is the base unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the work done when a force of one newton moves an object one meter.
Historyandorigin: Named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule.
CurrentUse: It is widely used in scientific and engineering contexts.
funfact: One joule is approximately the energy required to lift a small apple one meter.

How to Convert kilocalorie (th) to joule
1 kilocalorie (th) [kcal (th)] = 4184 joule [J]
1 joule [J] = 0.0002390057 kilocalorie (th) [kcal (th)]
we use cross multiplication method
kilocalorie (th) [kcal (th)] → joule [J]
1 → 4184
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*4184=1*x
by simplifying
x=6276
