Why convert from J/(g·°C) to J/(kg·°C)?

Converting to J/(kg·°C) aligns measurements with the SI base unit for mass, enabling standardized and comparable engineering and thermal calculations.

Is the conversion factor always 1000?

Yes, one joule per gram per degree Celsius equals 1000 joule per kilogram per degree Celsius, reflecting the mass difference between grams and kilograms.

Can this converter be used for all substances?

While it applies broadly, users should remember the tool assumes specific heat capacity is constant across the temperature range, which may not hold true for all materials.
