Question 1: In a calorimeter experiment, the test tube which holds the metal forheating also contained some water which subsequently was added tothe calorimeter. Considering a higher specific heat for water, willthe temperature change in the calorimeter be higher, or lower, orunaffected by this technique error? Explain.

(My thought process is that the extra water will decrease thetemperature in the calorimeter, but am unsure due to the specific heat for water being higher. Can someone please clarify thisfor me?)

Question 2: Inmeasuring the specific heat of a metal, a student chemist used thehighest recorded temperature for calculating the metal's specific heat rather than the extrapolated temperature. Will this errorresult in a larger or smaller specific heat value reported in the experiment?
