Answer:

925.66 J/K

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = CΔt............. Equation 1

Where Q = amount of heat, C = heat capacity of the calorimeter, Δt = rise in temperature.

make C the subject of the equation

C = Q/Δt.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: Q = 3.86 kJ = 3860 J, Δt = 4.17K

Substitute into equation 2

C = 3860/4.17

C = 925.66 J/K
