Question 7
In 2016, researchers from Japan showed that a family of dyes lose their color in a linear fashion. Shown below are the data at shorter (t<1s) and longer (t~100s) scales for three dyes. Systematically, the three dyes (corresponding to the green, red, and blue data each) lose their color in linearly over time. What is the order of the reaction? Source: Calupitan et al. Chem Eur J, 2016, 10002-10006.
Editorial convention: use the stated linear colour loss and assume absorbance is proportional to concentration.
