The pigment cyanidin aglycone is one of the anthocyanin molecules that gives red cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitataf. rubra) its characteristic red coloration. Many chemistry students have used this "red cabbage indicator" to study acidbase chemistry. Estimate the ph range at which cyanidin agly- cone shows a color change.

Chlorophyll is green because it absorbs green light less than it absorbs light of other wavelengths. The accessory pigments in the leaves of deciduous trees tend to be red and yellow, but their color is masked by that of the chlorophyll. Suggest a connection between these points and the appearance of fall foliage colors in many sections of the country.
