During your experimental procedure, there was residual water left with the copper metal when it was heated. This water did not evaporate while the metal was heated. If the heated metal residual water was then added to the cool water during your experimentation, this would cause the calculated specific heat of copper to be greater, lesser or equal to the actual specific heat of copper. Required:
Provide a detailed explanation of how this would or would not affect the calculated specific heat of copper.
