A student is attempting to determine the heat capacity of a Styrofoam cup calorimeter by pouring hot water into a Styrofoam cup containing cold water. The student determined the mass of the cold water to be 22.11 g and its initial temperature to be 23.197 °C. The mass of the hot water was 24.49 g and its initial temperature as 64.696 °C. The final temperature of the water after mixing was determined to be 34.92°C. The specific heat capacity of the water is 4.18 J/(9•°C). What is the heat capacity of the Styrofoam cup calorimeter in J/(9•°C)?
