A student is preparing to perform a series of calorimetry

A student is preparing to perform a series of calorimetry experiments. She first wishes to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter (Ccal) for her coffee cup calorimeter. She pours a 50.0 mL sample of water at 72.0 °C into the calorimeter containing a 50.0 mL sample of water at 25.0 °C. She carefully records the final temperature of the water as 44.0°C. What is the value of Ccal for the calorimeter?
