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).
Camphor is a ketone.    It is the oxidation product of borneol, which is a secondary alcohol. Primary alcohols when they are oxidized can either produce carboxylic acid â¦ s or aldehydes.However, since borneol is secondary, it cannot be oxidized to produce an aldehyde or carboxylic acid.   Secondary alcohols, on the other hand, will produce ketones. Since borneol is a secondary alcohol, it cannot be oxidized to make an aldehyde which means that camphor must be a ketone.est | Aldehydes | Ketones / Tollen's reagent test | +ve Aldehydes reduce Tollens' reagent to form shiny silver mirr â¦ or. | -ve Ketones do not reduce Tollens' reagent and hence, there is no formation of shiny silver mirror.
