← ScienceWhich risk increases when performing calorimetry under non-adiabatic conditions?
A)Inaccurate enthalpy change measurement✓
B)Catalyst poisoning by reactants
C)Increased activation energy barrier
D)Reversible reaction completion avoidance
💡 Explanation
Heat loss biases the measured enthalpy change through heat transfer effects, because **heat leakage** prevents true isolation from the environment; therefore the measured value is incorrect, rather than a chemical event such as poisoning happening, which requires other specific conditions.
