To estimate two dyes in a mixture using spectrophotometry, follow these steps:
1. Prepare a set of standard solutions of known concentrations for each dye in the mixture.
2. Measure the absorbance spectrum of each dye standard solution using a spectrophotometer. This will give you the characteristic absorbance peaks for each dye at specific wavelengths.
3. Prepare the mixture of the two dyes and measure its absorbance spectrum using the spectrophotometer.
4. Analyze the absorbance spectrum of the mixture to identify the absorbance peaks corresponding to each dye.
5. Create a calibration curve for each dye by plotting the absorbance values of the standard solutions against their concentrations.
6. Use the calibration curves to determine the concentrations of each dye in the mixture based on the absorbance values obtained from the mixture.
By following these steps, you can accurately estimate the concentrations of two dyes in a mixture using spectrophotometry.
