A 0.0250 M0.0250\,\text{M} reference solution of compound X shows an absorbance of 0.4100.410 at its λmax⁡\lambda_{\max} in a 1.00 cm1.00\,\text{cm} cuvette. Under identical conditions, an unknown solution of X records an absorbance of 0.6150.615. Calculate the concentration of the unknown solution, reporting your answer to three significant figures with the correct units.
