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 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 reducing the uncertainty in L to 0.05 cm, or reducing the uncertainty in A to 0.01?
