Q
  1. What are 4 errors in using the polystyrene cup method of calorimetry to measure the enthalpy change?
A
  1. Heat transfer from surroundings (usually loss); The method assumes all solutions have the heat capacity of water; neglecting the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter- we ignore any heat absorbed by the apparatus; reaction or dissolving may be incomplete or slow; Density of solution is taken to be the same as water
