A student measures the following data in a calorimetry experiment designed to determine the specific heat of aluminum. (Do not assume atmospheric pressure.)

Initial temperature of water and calorimeter:         70°C
Mass of water: 0.400 kg
Mass of calorimeter: 0.040 kg
Specific heat of calorimeter: 0.63 kJ/kg · °C
Initial temperature of aluminum: 26.8°C
Mass of aluminum: 0.200 kg
Final temperature of mixture: 65.8°C

Use these data to determine the specific heat of aluminum.
