What is your guess?

alphadxg · Answer

Since you haven't responded and I have to go, It is a closed yet not isolated system. The materials that the calorimeter is made can conduct heat to some extent, as well as the thermometer used. Thus, there is some, although very very little heat loss to the surroundings.
