Ketones cannot be oxidized at all. Their chemical makeup does not consist of the necessary hydrogen atoms to allow oxidation to take place.

Can 24-dinitrophenylhydrazine reagent distinguish between an aldehyde and a ketone?
No, it would only tell you that a carbonyl group is present. To distinguish between aldehydes and ketones, you would use Tollen's Reagent. If it's an aldehyde, a silver mirror would be formed as the aldehyde would've oxidised and formed carboxylic acid. If it's a ketone, then no reaction would take place as ketones are resistant to further oxidation.
Which two groups have the same functional group?
ketones and aldehydes
Are ketones acidic?
No
carbon dioxide?
Oxidised Carbon you dummy
What carbon dioxide?
Oxidised Carbon you dummy
Is the element zinc easily reduced?
No it is not. However, it is easily oxidised.
Does alcohol do anything good for you?
In small quantities, alcohol is an antioxidant (in that it is easily oxidised, so other things aren't).

no
What is a urinalysis test for ketones?
Ketones are substances created during the breakdown of fat in order to become energy when there is not enough sugar in the body. Ketones can be found in the blood or in the urine.
What does the oxidation of ethanol produce?
Ethanol is first oxidised to acetaldehyde which can be further oxidised to acetic acid
Are ketones acidic?
No
Could the metabolism of fat explain the presence of ketones and the low pH of the urine?
Yes, metabolism of fats is a reason and can cause the presence of ketones and can lower pH levels. To make it simple, ketones form from rapid or incomplete oxidation (breaking down) of fats from the liver and forms ketones. Ketones are strong acids and this is why it can cause a lowering of pH in the urine.
Why alkane make good fuels?
Alkanes are easily oxidised and burning of alkanes are generally exothermic. The heat energy is used in fuel.
What is 4 plus ketones?
This would mean that there would be four or more ketones (C=O) in a molecule.
Why do metals on the left hand side of the of the periodic table are said to be highly reducing?
Reducing agent reduces others and oxidised itself.reduction means gain of electrons and oxidation means loss of electrons.as the metals on left hand side of the periodic table have lower ionisation potential so they are easily lose electrons and oxidised and reduces others.so they are highly reducing.
