Questiоn 10, pаrt g.Questiоn 10: Cоffee-cup cаlorimetry аnd heat capacityA 42.5 g metal sample at 96.0 degrees C is placed into 85.0 g of water at 21.6 degrees C in a coffee-cup calorimeter. The final temperature is 26.8 degrees C. Use Cs,water = 4.184 J g^-1 K^-1 and a calorimeter heat capacity of 18.0 J K^-1.Part g. If the calorimeter heat capacity had been ignored, would the calculated metal specific heat be too high or too low? Explain.
