Question
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.
