Problem
A series of absorbance measurements made with a 1.50 cm cuvette yields a best-fit slope of 1.22×104M−1 for the absorbance-versus-concentration plot. The relative standard deviation of the slope is 2.0 %. Literature reports ε=8.30×103M−1cm−1 at this wavelength. Determine whether the experimental value supports the literature value within the stated uncertainty; answer "supports" or "does not support" and include the calculated percent difference.
