Error Analysis
Error might occur when some heat escape from the cup. Some of the
heat were absorbed by the water & the cup
, and also escape when we didnt close the cup
correctly. Me and my friends carelessly left the hole that we made to put
the thermometer not tight and opened, causing the heat to escape. This
experimental error was also most likely caused by incorrect measure of
the chemicals. The different between the weights of the chemicals or
mixtures resulted in the differences between heat capacities after all
the calculations were done.

The thermometer had to be calibrated, which improves accuracy but is

itself an imprecise technique. The thermometer and the calorimeter
should wipe till it completely dry to prevent the errors in reading. The
calorimeter also should run in closed area to prevent the heat easily
lost to the surrounding.
