**Question:**You have two solutions of the same compound that are blue. One is very pale and the other is very intense. Absorbance of each solution was measured with a spectrophotometer at the same wavelength at which the solution absorbs.a) Which solution has the higher absorbance?b) Which is the more concentrated solution?---**Explanation:**This problem involves the concept of absorbance and concentration of solutions. In general, the intensity of color in a solution can provide a visual cue for its concentration; more intense colors typically indicate higher concentrations of the solute. Absorbance, measured by a spectrophotometer, correlates with the concentration according to Beer-Lambert Law, which states that absorbance is directly proportional to concentration. Therefore, solutions with higher absorbance are typically more concentrated.

There are two colored solutions, one is pale blue and other is intense blue in color. The…
