A 51.4 g sample of aluminum is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 200.0 g of water. The aluminum sample starts off at 87.7 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 18.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 21.4 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the specific heat capacity of aluminum according to this experiment. Be sure your answer is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.
