A scientist labels four beakers (A–D) containing the same solute dissolved in water. Each beaker has the same volume of solution (500 mL), but different amounts of solute: Beaker A: 2 g of solute Beaker B: 10 g of solute Beaker C: 25 g of solute Beaker D: 40 g of solute A student accidentally spills a drop from each beaker onto identical glass slides and observes the intensity of color in each drop. Which beaker would produce the deepest color (most concentrated solution) in the drop test?
