Suppose you put 50mL of water in the can instead of 100mL and heated it to 40 degrees instead of 20 degrees. In what ways, if any, would this afect the results of the experiment? What would happen if you used 200mL of water and heated it only 10 degrees? Can you think of any advantages or disadvantages in useing either 50mL or 200mL of water in this experiment?

It would help to know what the experiment was.
we had 100ml of water in a can and measured the temp of the water cold 23degree c, and then we heated the water with methanol to increase 20 degrees. blew out methanol and marked how how temp of water went.
