Can someone please tell me what the main significant sources of error that would come from in a calorimetry experiment?

do u mean-lack of even heating?

The obvious one is heat losses to the air and to the beaker (essentially one point), but the one people tend to forget is that in practical conditions, soot and carbon monoxide form, denoting insufficient oxygen supply...

However, the exact value will tend to be different for the reason that theoretical values are derived from ideal conditions (sufficient oxygen supply)
