Module 4 in ConChem 3rd Grading

This document summarizes Module 4 of ConChem 3rd Grading for John Carlo P. Dela Cruz. It includes definitions of key terms related to dyes, assessments testing the understanding of dye properties and applications, and a summary of what was learned. The assessments cover topics like chromophores, conjugated systems, dye fastness, and environmental impacts of natural vs synthetic dyes. In the conclusion, the key learnings are summarized as the differences between natural and synthetic dyes, how dyes impart color to fabrics, and dye properties and applications including azoic dyes and tie-dye.

Activity 1

Terms Definition
1. Hypsochromic Shift The position shift of a peak or signal to a shorter
wavelength (high energy) which decreases
absorption and intensity of the color.
2. Conjugated System A structure with alternating double and
single bonds like benzene rings.
3. Visible Spectrum The band of electromagnetic radiation that
human eyes can detect. Ranges from
wavelengths of 400-700 nm.
4. Bathochromic Shift The position shift of a peak or signal to a longer
wavelength (lower energy) which increases
absorption and intensity (darker) of the color.
5. Auxochrome It is a group of atoms that shifts the position of a
peak or signal to a longer wavelength when
attached to a chromophore.

Assessment 1

1. Unlike pigments, dyes do not build upon the material’s surface but are absorbed in the fibers’
pores.
2. The chromophore will not produce color, unless it is a part of a conjugated system.
3. Color intensity is the shade of a color. Higher intensity means darker shade and lower intensity
means lighter shade of the color.
4. You can intensify the color of a dye by inducing a bathochromic effect.
It can be done by:
a. Doubling the length of the conjugated system.
b. Adding groups of electron-donating (auxochromes).
c. Electron-donating (NH2) and electron-accepting (NO2) provide a bathochromic effect.
d. Increasing the number of electron-attracting groups (chromophores) conjugated with
electron-donor (auxochromes).
Activity 2

1. Polyamides like nylon and proteins like wool, silk, and leather
2. Polyacrylics
3. Base
4. Hydrophobic substrates
5. Direct dyes
6. Benzidine-based direct dyes
7. Sodium hydrosulfite dissolved in a sodium hydroxide
8. Azoic dyes
9. Tie-dye
10. Excellent and bright wet-fast shades on cellulosic fibers

Assessment 2

1. Natural dyes are obtained from natural sources while synthetic dyes are chemically
manufactured by man.
2. This is due to the fact that specific types of dye can only absorb inside a specific type of
substrate or textile. An example is how a disperse dye can absorb in a hydrophobic substrate
and not in a polyacrylic. Whereas basic dyes can absorb in polyacrylics but not in hydrophobic
substrates like polyesters.
3. Dye fastness refers to the color’s resistance to fading or running. Wet fast means its ability to
maintain its color upon exposure to water, while exposure to sunlight is called lightfast.
4. I think the natural dye is more environmentally friendly. This is because synthetic dyes are made
up of chemicals that are harmful to both humans and the environment. Some of these chemicals
include mercury, toluene, lead, and chromium. While most natural dyes are safe and harmless.

What I have learned

1. Natural dyes are obtained from natural sources while synthetic dyes are chemically
manufactured by man.
2. One of the benefits we can get from dyes is the fact that they can impart color to textiles while
having the resistance to fade and maintain their original hue.
3. First, dyes absorb light in the visible spectrum, have at least one chromophore, have a
conjugated system, and lastly, they exhibit resonance of electrons.
4. Azoic Dyes (Naphthol dye), also called cold water dyes its suitable substrates include cotton and
nylon. Its color development takes place in a coupling reaction between naphthol and diazo
component. It is wet fast but low lightfast with bright and high-intensity colors. An example of
this type of dye is a tie-dye.
5.
- Before anything, you should first check if your dye matches the substrate you’re going to
use.
- Before dyeing, you should wash the fabric item first, if it is new.
- When coming up with your own shades, get the look you want without wasting dye by
making a small dye bath first.
