A) ΔHcalc is less positive because the reaction absorbs heat from the calorimeter.
B) ΔHcalc equals the actual value because the calorimeter does not absorb heat.
C) ΔHcalc is more negative because the calorimeter always absorbs heat from the reaction.
D) ΔHcalc is less negative because the calorimeter absorbs heat from the reaction.
