Answer: Yes a solution can be too concentrated

Explanation: At higher concentrations, beer’s law fails as the linearity of the law is limited to just instrumental and chemical factors. In a solution with a higher concentration, the proximity between the molecules is so close that there are deviations in the absorptivity.
