Isopropyl alcohol can be effective in removing Sharpie stains from surfaces. Simply dampen a cloth with isopropyl alcohol and gently rub the stained area until the Sharpie mark fades or disappears. Test the alcohol on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not damage the surface.
Rubbing alcohol, and things (Example: Rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover) that would smell similar to a sharpie. Best choice though, would be rubbing alcohol.
Why?
Rubbing alcohol (or also called isopropanol/Ispropyl) is a solvent that has polar molecules (molecules with a positive charged molecule that sticks to a negative charged molecule).
If you sniff a sharpie, it has a sharp, alcohol smell, right? Sharpies have n-propanol alcohol, n-butanol, and diacetone alcohol in them. They have pretty similar structures to rubbing alcohol. All alcohol have polar molecules.
There is a "like dissolve like" rule. This means Polar solvent+Polar solvent=dissolve/removal. OR non-polar solvent+nonpolar solvent=dissolve/removal. The closer the molecule and chemical make-ups are, the more likely they are to dissolve or be removed.
Any reaction occur.
Chemical stains make light microscopes more useful by showing specific structures in a cell.
To remove Sharpie from a jersey, you can try using rubbing alcohol or a stain remover specifically designed for removing ink stains. Apply the product to the stained area and gently blot with a clean cloth. Repeat until the stain is gone, then wash the jersey according to the care instructions.
Chemical stains provide contrast with which to view dintinctly different portions of cell structures.
Kolbe decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide.
