A coffee cup calorimeter was used for the neutralization reaction of 100 mL of 1.00 M hydrochloric acid with 100 mL of 1.20 M sodium hydroxide. The initial temperature was 22.88°C and the final temperature was 29.39°C. Calculate the calorimeter constant for the reaction.

HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) NaCl (aq) + H ₂ O (H°rxn = -58.3 kJ/mol)
