    So, what about the other compounds that are soluble in ethanol and are being extracted with the chlorophyll ?
    You're not really suggesting that ethanol is that selective , are you ?

      With chemistry you look at the after product that's made from the reaction not doing all at once this would be a disaster if you did everything at once

      Ethanol also causes the breakdown of cells spilling out their insides into the solution

      No problem, however, make sure you don't drink it if you use isopropyl alcohol since isopropyl alcohol toxic to drink.

    I'm curious on how to remove the ethanol to get 100% chlorophyll. Do you heat it to evaporate the alcohol I guess or would that affect the chlorphyll?

    • @EHProductionsVideos
      @EHProductionsVideos  7 років тому +4

      That's an interesting question. I don't know much about the chemical properties of chlorophyll but you're right the heat may break it down. Perhaps it would be better to let it evaporate on it's own without any heat source.

      Simple distillation can be done to separate chlorophyll and ethanol.

    You can use ethanol to extract it, but would nail polish remover work aswell?

      Acetone… I’m gonna test that myself actually, it’s polar and organic so maybe. If it does it’s better suited to the job at first guess since it evaporates faster meaning less degradation of the chlorophyll before you can put it in the fridge

    What can you use your chlorophyll mixture for?

    • @EHProductionsVideos
      @EHProductionsVideos  4 роки тому +1

      You can use this mixture to demonstrate the properties of chlorophyll. An example is shining a UV light on it which will make it fluoresce a red color.
