Next you sit the beaker on a bench or ring stand and set the thermometer, allowing two minutes for the thermometer to stabalize. Using a 10 mL pipet and bulb pipet, one should pipet exactly 10mL of distilled water into a pre- weighed 50mL beaker. Measure and record the water's mass. One will use the same balance forthe rest of the experiment. One will

    out the lab, which caused the movement and change of position of the heat energy of the flame. This did not allow for all for the flames energy to be concentrated on one spot at the bottom of the beaker. This error would have decreased the precision and accuracy of the data gathered form the experiment. This chance of this error could be removed it the experiment was to take place somewhere were there would be not motion of the air to change the position of the flame (e.g. in a bomb calorimeter).
