Since the experiment is carried out at room temperature, the ice gains heat from the surroundings. Hence, the mass of water collected in the beaker is larger than expected and lf(單位;the specific latent heat of fusion of ice) becomes smaller than the accepted value. To eliminate this effect, a control experiment is set up. The experiment is started when the drip rates of the two funnels are the same.
