A metal block of mass \( 0.80\ \text{kg} \) and specific heat capacity \( c_{\text{m}} = 0.35\ \text{kJ kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1} \) is initially at \( 150^{\circ}\text{C} \). It is placed into an insulated calorimeter containing \( 0.50\ \text{kg} \) of water at \( 20^{\circ}\text{C} \). The specific heat capacity of water is \( c_{\text{w}} = 4.18\ \text{kJ kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1} \). After the system reaches thermal equilibrium the final temperature is \( 30^{\circ}\text{C} \). Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings, calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter (in \(\text{kJ K}^{-1}\), to two decimal places).
