Question

Question states: "if instead of using the blue dye, we had used a red dye, what changes would you make in your experimental procedure to determine the rate law for the oxidation of the red dye by sodium hypochlorite? (be specific)" I assume that since absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration(according to beers law) , then the red dye would be less concentrated than the blue dye because it has less absorbance than the blue dye( red absorbance :500 blue absorbance:610). Is this thought process correct? Would this mean I should increase the concentration of the red dye to match the blue dye during the experiment?

Explanation / Answer

Rate of the reaction:

In a chemical reaction the convertion of reactants in to products in a particular unit time is called rate of the reaction.

It depends on the concentration of the reactants, pressure and Temperature of the reaction conditions.

In the above question Red dye used instead of the Blue dye, The absorbance is less for red, Hence we have to increase the concentration of the Red dye.
