Solution

During Photosynthesis experiment if ethanol (an alcohol) is used, then it reacts and automatically decolorizes the green leaf. It removes the green colored chlorophyll pigment from that leaf, which supports the photosynthesis process of a plant to prepare its food from sunlight and water.

Hence, ethanol (an alcohol) is used to remove the pigment chlorophyll from a green leaf.
