First, we need to calculate the amount of heat produced by burning the camphor sample:

Q = m * ΔT * C

Where Q is the heat produced, m is the mass of camphor burned, ΔT is the temperature change of the calorimeter, and C is the heat capacity of the calorimeter.

m = 0.1204 g
ΔT = 2.28°C = 2.28 K
Q = 5903.6 J/g

So, Q = 0.1204 g * 2.28 K * C

Solving for C, we get:

C = Q / (m * ΔT) = 5903.6 J/g / (0.1204 g * 2.28 K)

C = 2071.5 J/K

Therefore, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is approximately 2071.5 J/K.
