Question
Indicate whether the error described below will result in ahigher, lower or no change in the calculated specific heat, andexplain 1D Twice as much water used in the calorimeter than specifiedin the procedure. Nettie's answer: If there is twice as much water thecalculated specific heat would be higher due to the volume ofwater?

Nope. Specific heat is heat required to raise 1 kg of the substanceby 1 C...So, if you use 2 kg water, you must divide the heatconsumed by 2 to get specific heat, so you will get the same answerwhich you would have got if you used 1 kg. Specific heat of a material is constant, does not depepnd onquantity
