You dissolve 4.000 g solid ammonium chloride in 100.0g of water inside a Styrofoam coffee cup. You measure the temperature change and calculate the enthalpy change to be 14.0 kJ. The accepted standard enthalpy change is 14.7 kJ. Give two reasons why your experimental value for AH is different from the accepted value.
