joule per kilogram-Celsius

Specific heat capacityexact by definition

The joule per kilogram-Celsius is numerically identical to the joule per kilogram-kelvin, because a Celsius degree and a kelvin are the same size and specific heat is defined per degree of change, not per degree of position. Water is about 4182 J/(kg·°C) at room temperature.

Watch out: The two labels are interchangeable and the factor is exactly 1. Anyone who "converts" between J/(kg·K) and J/(kg·°C) has misread the quantity as a temperature rather than a temperature interval.
