A calorimeter is an insulated container which prevents the exchange of energy from an experiment's surroundings. Water at 85^oC in the amount of 100 grams is added to a calorimeter which contains 100 grams of water at 35^oC. Once these two amounts of water are mixed the highest temperature of the mixture is recorded to be 55^oC. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter?
