Abstract: A method for the determination of acid orangeⅡand acid redGR simultaneously in a supporting solution of 0.01mol/ L by single sweep polarography has been established. The peak potentials were -0.74V, -0.89V(vs.SCE) respectively .The peak hights were linearly proportional to the concentration of acid orangeⅡin the range of in the range of 0.20~10.0μg/ml and of acid redGR 0.20~6.0μg/ml. The detection limit was 0.10 μg/ml for both OrangeⅡand redGR . This method was simple and sensitive with good selectivity. The results were satisfactory when used to analyse food.
