Lab Two; Chromatography of Food Dyes Jan Konig 28.04.2013 11:00am Chemistry 121‚ section DE Abstract: The second lab deals with the chromatography of food dyes which means you figure out what kind of compounds are used in a product like food color etc. by comparing the result to FD&C Food Dyes. You use six different food dyes‚ four food colors out of the store‚ two different Kool Aid powder and four different colors of candy like M&Ms you use for the chromatograph. At the end you try
