Chapter 20, Problem 3(choose chapter or problem)
Assume you are measuring the specific heat of a sampleof originally hot metal by using a calorimeter containingwater. Because your calorimeter is not perfectlyinsulating, energy can transfer by heat between thecontents of the calorimeter and the room. To obtainthe most accurate result for the specific heat of themetal, you should use water with which initial temperature?(a) slightly lower than room temperature(b) the same as room temperature (c) slightly higherthan room temperature (d) whatever you like becausethe initial temperature makes no difference
