A 52.0 g sample of polystyrene is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 200.0 g of water. The polystyrene sample starts off at 86.4 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 21.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 26.0 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the specific heat capacity of polystyrene according to this experiment. Be sure your answer is rounded to 2 significant digits.
