What is the colour of a leaf when the chlorophyll is removed?
As we know, chlorophyll is what causes the leaf to appear green. From what I know there is a very specific way to extract chlorophyll from leaves. 1. Boil the leaf to kill the cells and arrest all the chemical activity, this also makes it permeable to alcohol and iodine later on. 2. Submerge the leaf in alcohol (ethanol) which is kept in test tube. 3. Put the test tube into the boiling beaker in step one so the alcohol is boiled alone with the leaf in it. The chlorophyll should be extracted as the alcohol turn green. As for the leafs, they usually only appears lighter than it is originally is, which is VERY light green. I have never seen a leaf with absolutely no chlorophyll so can't tell you right here. WARNING: Alcohol in gas form is highly flammable.

Why did the alcohol turned green when the leaf was put into it?
Alcohol is a solvent: It dissolves stuff. The leaf is porous, full of holes. When the leaf is placed in the alcohol, the alcohol gets into the leafs, and dissolves the pigments in the leaf, probably chlorophyll, which is green. This will turn the alcohol green.

Why did leaf had to be boiled in ethanol when testing leaf for starch?
Ethanol dissolves chlorophyll hence further phtosynthetic activity is stopped in the abscence of light and the leaf becomes transparent (colorless). the colorless leaf takes better stain with iodene while testing for the presence of starch.
Why was the leaf dropped in alcohol?
To get to the other side?!??
