The enthalpy of combustion of ethanol is determined by heating a known mass of tap water in a glass beaker with a flame of burning ethanol.

Which will lead to the greatest error in the final result?

• Assuming the density of tap water is 1.0 g cm⁻³

• Assuming all the energy from the combustion will heat the water

•  Assuming the specific heat capacity of the tap water is 4.18 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹

•  Assuming the specific heat capacity of the beaker is negligible
