In the classroom, I often see alcohol wipes being used to erase both water based and oil based markers. But here’s the question, how does a single-molecule substance like alcohol dissolve both water-based and oil-based solutes when most liquids can only dissolve one of the two?
In: Chemistry
Well the wipes almost certainly have more water than alcohol in them but the actual reason is probably because the marker being erased hasn’t fully dried yet and could be wiped away be almost anything absorbent.
