Chlorophyll is insoluble in_____________?

Correct answer: D. Water

  • A. Carbon tetrachloride
  • B. Alcohol
  • C. Organic solvents
  • D. Water

Explanation

Chlorophyll is a lipid-soluble pigment, so it dissolves in alcohol and other organic solvents but is insoluble in water. Students may choose carbon tetrachloride because it is less familiar, although chlorophyll can dissolve in suitable nonpolar organic solvents.
