Calorimetric Theory Discrepancy

[QUOTE="Borek, post: 6491651, member: 23711"] While not including the solute mass might produce slightly better results due to the changes in SHC I would prefer to stick to the standard approach (mass of the solvent+solute @ 4.18J/(gK)) for pedagogical reasons. Students often have problems grasping what the "system" is, and what is "outside" of the system. Telling them to not include solute mass (when it is definitely something that IS part of the system) will IMHO only confuse them further. Especially for beginners I would prefer to have them understanding what is going on and making an error by assuming wrong SHC, than to dig into confusing minutiae (interesting and obvious in the meaning for us).
