Calorimetery Question

<p>I recently did a lab on finding the heat of solidification of a s substance. What would be some sources of error for this lab? A paper cup calorimeter was used.</p>

<p>If you didnt swirl the contents that were in the cup then the temperature would vary in certain spots. (wherever you placed the temp probe)</p>

<p>-If you didn’t let the temperature raise to it’s highest point
-The cover of the calorimeter may not have been replaced soon enough</p>
