We have that the Concentration of solution B is 2.5 times more than solution A's concentration.

<h3>UV(Ultra violent) rays</h3>

Question Parameters:

Upon UV-analysis, Solution B gave an absorbance of 1.0

Solution A gave an absorbance of 0. 4

Generally the equation for the Absorbance is mathematically given as

A = e*c*L

Therefore

For A solution

$0.4 = e*[cA]*L$

For B solution

$1.0 = e*[cB]*L$

Hence

$\frac{0.4}{ 1} = \frac{[cA]}{ cB}$

[cB] = 2.5 [cA]

Therefore

Concentration of solution B is 2.5 times more than solution A's concentration.
