A 53.1 g sample of aluminum is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 100.0 g of water. The aluminum sample starts off at 95.9 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 17.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 24.7 °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.
