How to Convert Kilocalories to Electronvolts
To convert kilocalories to electronvolts (eV), multiply the number of kilocalories by 2.611 x 1022. This is because 1 kilocalorie is equal to 4,184 joules, and 1 joule is equal to approximately 6.242 x 1018 eV.
Formula
Electronvolts = Kilocalories × (2.611 × 1022)
or
eV = kcal × 2.611e22
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in kilocalories
- Multiply that number by 2.611e22
- The result is the equivalent energy in electronvolts
Examples
- 1 kcal = 1 × 2.611e22 = 2.611 x 1022 eV
- 5 kcal = 5 × 2.611e22 = 1.3055 x 1023 eV
- 10 kcal = 10 × 2.611e22 = 2.611 x 1023 eV
