Problem

A solution in a

1.00\,\text{cm}

cuvette has a concentration of

0.50\,\text{M}

and produces a certain absorbance at a chosen wavelength. A second solution of the same substance is placed in a

2.00\,\text{cm}

cuvette and has a concentration of

0.25\,\text{M}

. Assuming all other variables are identical, how does the absorbance of the second solution compare with that of the first? (a) One-half as large (b) Twice as large (c) The same (d) Four times as large
