A clear answer. Here’s how.
Uses joules per kilogram kelvin. These denominators are temperature differences: 1 K equals a 1 °C interval, while a 1 °F interval is 5/9 K, with no 32-degree offset. Calories are thermochemical (4.184 J), and BTU uses the International Table definition. No material heat capacity is predicted. Values are rounded to 12 significant figures for display.
