To solve the problem, we will use the principle of conservation of energy, which states that the heat lost by the water will be equal to the heat gained by the calorimeter. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given data:** - Heat capacity of the calorimeter, \( C_c = 100 \, \text{J/K} \) - Initial temperature of the calorimeter, \( T_c = 30^\circ C \) - Mass of water, \( m_w = 100 \, \text{g} = 0.1 \, \text{kg} \) ...
