Problem

A laboratory technician dilutes a stock solution of a colored compound by mixing

10.0\,\text{mL}

of the stock with

40.0\,\text{mL}

of solvent. The diluted sample shows an absorbance of

0.150

in a

1.00\,\text{cm}

cuvette at

\lambda_{\max}

. If the path length and wavelength remain unchanged, determine the absorbance the undiluted stock solution would produce in the same cuvette.
