Ceric Ammonium Nitrate
Ceric Ammonium Nitrate (Product Code: SCL-807/148) is a solid cerium(IV) salt and strong oxidising agent used for the ceric ammonium nitrate test for alcohols and for redox work in school, college and research chemistry laboratories. Organic chemistry classes value it because only a pinch is needed per test, and it is packed as a 100 gm analytical reagent with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a chemistry consumables supplier for teaching laboratories.

What Is Ceric Ammonium Nitrate Used For?
For the functional-group test, a small amount of the salt is dissolved in dilute nitric acid to give a yellow-orange reagent. A few drops of an unknown liquid are added: a change to red indicates an alcohol, whereas phenols tend to give a dark brown or greenish precipitate instead. Because only a pinch is needed per class set, a 100 gm pack goes a long way in a teaching laboratory. In higher-level work the same compound is used as a one-electron oxidant and in cerimetric titrations against iron(II) solutions.
As an oxidiser, it should be stored apart from organic solvents, paper and other combustibles, ideally on a separate shelf of a chemistry reagent cabinet. Weigh it with a clean, dry spatula, reseal the container promptly, and make up the test reagent fresh for each practical session so that results stay reliable.

- Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) — a known alcohol that gives the positive red colour.
- Phenol — a comparison sample showing how phenols respond differently.
- Nitric Acid — used in dilute form to prepare the ceric reagent.
- Droppers with Rubber Bulb — for adding test liquids drop by drop.
- Ferrous Ammonium sulphate — an iron(II) salt for cerimetric titration practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who supplies Ceric Ammonium Nitrate SCL-807/148?
Ceric Ammonium Nitrate (SCL-807/148) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources this analytical reagent oxidant for organic and redox practicals and supplies it with an MSDS to buyers in India and international markets.
How much reagent does one pack of Ceric Ammonium Nitrate contain?
One pack of Ceric Ammonium Nitrate contains 100 gm of analytical reagent grade salt, with an MSDS. Since the alcohol test needs only a pinch dissolved in dilute nitric acid, a single pack serves many class sets in a teaching laboratory.
What result shows that a sample is an alcohol in the ceric test?
In the Ceric Ammonium Nitrate test, the yellow-orange ceric reagent turns red when an alcohol is present, while phenols tend to give a dark brown or greenish precipitate. Always run a known alcohol alongside unknowns so students can compare colours.
Is Ceric Ammonium Nitrate hazardous to store?
Ceric Ammonium Nitrate is an oxidising solid and must be kept away from flammable materials, organic solvents and paper. The MSDS supplied with the pack gives full storage and first-aid guidance, and it should be kept with the stock.
What is the shelf life of Ceric Ammonium Nitrate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep Ceric Ammonium Nitrate closed and dry between uses, and prepare the nitric acid test reagent fresh for each session.
Can I get batch analysis paperwork with Ceric Ammonium Nitrate?
The grade and MSDS for Ceric Ammonium Nitrate are confirmed in the listing. For any further batch documents your laboratory needs, please contact us before placing the order so the request can be discussed with the quotation.
Do you supply Ceric Ammonium Nitrate in quantity for several schools?
Yes. Multi-pack and institutional orders of Ceric Ammonium Nitrate can be quoted for India and international markets. Tell us the number of 100 gm packs and each delivery point, and the quotation will cover the whole requirement.
