The Beer-Lambert law relates the absorbance A of a solution to the concentration C of a species in solution by A = MLC, where L is the path length and M is the molar absorption coefficient. Assume that C = 1.25 ± 0.03 mol/cm3, L = 1.2 ± 0.1 cm, and A = 1.30 ± 0.05.a) Estimate M and find the uncertainty in the estimate.b) Which would provide a greater reduction in the uncertainty in M: reducing the uncertainty in C to 0.01 mol/cm³, reducing the uncertainty in L to 0.05 cm, or reducing the uncertainty in A to 0.01?
The Ideal Gas Law states that PV = nRT where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is a fixed constant (the gas constant), and T is absolute temperature. Show that
The particular solution of PVI is:
