Polystyrene cup calorimetry

Whilst this practical uses very simple apparatus it usually gives quite good results. Watch the two videos and then calculate the enthalpy change for each of the reactions. Why do the measured values differ from the data book ones? You might want to check the check out plastic cup calorimetry calculations first.

Video - zinc and copper(II) sulfate Video - citric acid and sodium hydrogencarbonate
