About these units
The calorie per gram °c (cal/(g·°C)) is a metric unit of specific heat capacity, equal to 4,186.8 joules per kilogram kelvin.
The joule per kilogram kelvin (J/(kg·K)) is an SI base or derived unit of specific heat capacity.
Going the other way, 1 joule per kilogram kelvin = 0.0002388459 calories per gram °c. Specific heat capacity is the energy needed to warm one unit of mass by one degree. Water sits at about 4.186 kJ/(kg·K), which is exactly why the calorie and the BTU were defined the way they were: 1 cal/(g·°C) equals 1 BTU/(lb·°F).
