The absorbance of a cationic iron(II) sample solution was measured in a spectrophotometer, but the instrument returned an error because the absorbance was too high. The sample was then diluted by using a pipette to take 100.0 μLμL of the sample and injecting it into a cuvette already containing 2.00 mLmL of water (total volume is 2.00 mLmL + 100.0 μLμL). The absorbance value of the diluted solution corresponded to a concentration of 7.71×10−6  M M . What was the concentration of the original solution? Express the concentration to three significant figures with the appropriate units.
