A 52.0 g sample of quartz is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 300.0 g of water. The quartz sample starts off at 98.2 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 19.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 21.3 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the specific heat capacity of quartz according to this experiment. Be sure your answer is rounded to the correct number of significant digits. g.°C ? O
