To convert a measurement in electronvolts to a measurement in kilocalories, multiply the energy by the following conversion ratio: 3.8293E-23 kilocalories/electronvolt.

Since one electronvolt is equal to 3.8293E-23 kilocalories, you can use this simple formula to convert:

kilocalories = electronvolts × 3.8293E-23

The energy in kilocalories is equal to the energy in electronvolts multiplied by 3.8293E-23.

For example, here's how to convert 5.0E+22 electronvolts to kilocalories using the formula above.
kilocalories = (5.0E+22 eV × 3.8293E-23) = 1.914647 kcal

Electronvolts and kilocalories are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is an Electronvolt?

An electronvolt is the amount of energy required to accelerate an electron through a difference in electric potential of one volt in vacuum. One electronvolt is equal to the charge of 1.602176634 × 10−19 C, and is equal to the energy of 1.602176634 × 10−19 Joules.[1]

Electronvolts can be abbreviated as eV; for example, 1 electronvolt can be written as 1 eV.

Energy in electronvolts can be expressed using the following formula: E = qV

The energy E in electronvolts is equal to the electric charge q in elementary charge times the potential difference V in volts.

What Is a Kilocalorie?

One kilocalorie, is equal to the heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water from 14.5 to 15.5 degrees Celsius.

Kilocalories can be abbreviated as kcal; for example, 1 kilocalorie can be written as 1 kcal.

When being used to measure nutrition or metabolic processes, the large calorie is used, which is equal to one kilocalorie.
