Description:
Alizarin solution in ethanol is a prepared solution of the anthraquinone dye alizarin dissolved in ethanol. It is commonly used in analytical chemistry, histology, and materials science for staining calcium compounds, as well as in pigment synthesis and textile dyeing. The ethanol acts as a solvent to enhance solubility and application on surfaces.

Chemical and Physical Properties

• Density: Depends on concentration; approximate range 0.8–0.9 g/cm³ (similar to ethanol)

• Boiling Point: Approx. 78.3°C (reflects ethanol solvent)

• Melting Point: Not applicable (solution)

• Solubility in Water: Poor (for alizarin); ethanol is miscible

• Solubility in Organic Solvents: Soluble in ethanol, acetone, and chloroform

• Odor: Characteristic alcoholic odor (from ethanol)

• Flammability: Flammable due to ethanol content

Applications

• Histological Staining: Used in microscopy for visualizing calcium in biological tissues.

• Analytical Chemistry: As a pH indicator and calcium complexing dye.

• Textiles and Pigments: Applied as a colorant for fibers and for synthesis of lakes and pigments.

• Surface Science: Used to detect or mark metal oxides and carbonate minerals.

Safety

Signal Word: Danger (due to ethanol component)
