What is the function of chloroform isoamyl alcohol?
Did u mean function of chloroform isoamyl alcohol in DNA extraction? Chloroform isoamyl alcohol is a type of detergent. It binds to protein and lipids of cell membrane and dissolve them. By this it will disrupt the bonds that hold the cell membrane together and cause it to breakdown. It then form complexes with these lipids and proteins, causing them to precipitate out of solution. Note that lipids and proteins are non-aqueous compound and DNA/RNA are aqueous compound. The detergent binds to non-aqueous compound.
Why are lipids soluble in organic solvents like chloroform?
Fats, as well as organic compounds, are nonpolar substances. Water, however, is a polar substance. Nonpolar substances dissolve nonpolar substances and polar substances dissolve polar substances (like dissolves like) because each are more attracted to molecules of similar structure than of different structure.
What is the result if stearic acid added in chloroform?
Stearic acid is soluble in chloroform, so it would dissolve if added to chloroform.
What solvent can dissolve PBT?
Chloroform and Chlorophenol
What will lipids dissolve in?
Most lipids may dissolve in hydrophobic, oily, apolar solvents like oil, benzene, chloroforme and octanol.
What is the generalization of solubility of lipids?
Lipids are soluble in nonpolar or organic solvents.
Do lipids dissolve water?
No. Lipids do not dissolve in water.

What are good solvents for lipids?
Non-polar organic solvents such as detergents (i.e. soap, which is just a salt of fatty acids, and other surfactants), and more powerful chemical solvents such as benzene, chloroform, diethyl ether, or hexane.

What kind of solvent can dissolve polycarbonate?
chloroform
Is there any solvent to dissolve polypyrrole?
i think chloroform would dissolve polypyrrole....
What is the type of biochemical that does not dissolve in water?
Lipids Lipids
Can lipids dissolve in blood plasma?
Plasma is mostly water, so no, lipids don't usually dissolve.
Do phospholipids dissolve in chloroform?
Most do "dissolve" in CHCl3, but it depends on how many fatty acids, and what they are.
