Why is acetone a good solvent for extracting chlorophyll-a?
I exactly dont know as why acetone is a good solvent but I know that oen of our labs had ethanol for chlorophyll extraction from the leaf experiment. It does take out most of the chlorophyll present in th leaf and it is commonly used in labs and either acetone or ethanol is used as a solvent choice.
What would you use as a blank or reference if the solutions were made using 80 percent acetone in water as the solvent rather than pure water explain why?
Blanks are made using the same solvent used in your solutions. So, in this case, you would use 80 percent acetone in water. Blanks allow you to see what parts of your results are due to the solvent and what parts are due to the solute. If you used pure water as your blank, it would not show the effect of the 80 percent acetone in water on your results.
