Healthy adults: In a 1981 study, healthy adults received 1 gram of vitamin C intravenously. One hour later, the neutrophil motility (how fast your white blood cells can move) and leukocyte transformation in the subjects' blood had increased significantly.
THE REACTIONS OF EXPERIMENT 35 Refer to pages 289 - 290 of your textbook.It is clear now how the oxidation-reduction scheme of p. 289 is being used here to illustrate the concept experimentally.An alcohol (borneol) is being oxidized into a ketone (camphor).
Best Answer: They are not the same--actually, they are very different. But one has to know a bit of organic chemistry to appreciate the difference. Acetone is a KETONE, and iso-propanol (rubbing alcohol) is an ALCOHOL. Or classified another way, ketones are polar aprotic [note the 'a' in aprotic] solvents; alcohols are polar protic solvents. It is the polar aprotic nature of actone that allows it to dissolve fingernail polish. Acetone is also used as paint thinner, among other things.
