3) The graph shows the absorption spectra of three food dyes: Blue No. 1, Red No. 2 and Yellow No. 4.
Which one of the following is the best wavelength to determine the concentration of Red No. 2 dye in a solution containing a mixture of all three dyes? Solution |

Using the Infrared absorption data on page 7 of the Data Book, identify the atoms and the bonds between them that are associated with the absorption labelled A on the infrared spectrum. e. A chemical test showed that compound X does not react with a base. Propose a structure for compound X that is consistent with all the evidence provided. |
