A 57.0g sample of aluminum is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 250.0g of water. The aluminum sample starts off at 96.9°C and the temperature of the water starts off at 23.0°C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 26.2°C. The pressure remains constant at 1atm.   Calculate the specific heat capacity of aluminum according to this experiment. Be sure your answer is rounded to 2 significant digits.
