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).
Isopropyl Alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol, which is also known as 2-propanol, has the same molecular formula as propanol. The molecular weight of it is around 60 g mol-1. The molecular formula is C 3 H 8 O. Hence, isopropyl alcohol is an isomer of propanol. The hydroxyl group of this molecule is attached to the second carbon atom in the chain. Therefore, this is a secondary alcohol. Melting point of isopropyl alcohol is -88 o C, and the boiling point is 83 o C. It is miscible with water and stable under normal conditions. This is a colorless, clear, flammable liquid.
