A 50.5 g sample of quartz is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 150.0 g of water. The quartz sample starts off at 98.8 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 15.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 19.5 °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 2 significant digits.
