Extract

Conclusions.
The result obtained will not be a very accurate due to the means by which the experiment was done. The equipment used was not the most efficient for measuring enthalpy changes, however it does give a rough estimate to work from. Some errors
of the equipment would have been heat lost through conduction from the reaction vessel. Also heat may well have been lost through the open top of the container, even though there was a lid this was not very secure some heat will have escaped through here.
