Hey there. I'm currently doing a lab in calorimetry for chemistry honors and I need help on identifying 3 sources of experimental that could be detrimental to accurate specific heat capacity values. I can't figure out any.

Question

if i got right what you need than it can be good isolation of system to accomplish accurate measurement of your given system and not outside influence, you should have heater with stable input/output by which i mean that it is known how much electricity for what amount of heat is needed and finally you should have good sensor which will measure your temperature change in system...

Hm, thank you. Very much. But to be honest, I think it would be better if I sent a file to you of my work so you could help me further. I'll be on tomorrow, and I'll attach a file. So you can fully understand what it is I need help with exactly.

What I had meant to say, after experiment was experimental error, i need 3 of them that could make specific heat results inaccurate [;

are you doing DSC measurement or just calorimetric measurement example: calorimetric bomb?
