Learn More About This Simulation
Practice makes perfect! In this simulation you will learn how to perform the ceric ammonium nitrate test for alcohols on two different samples. You will begin by attempting to process the samples through the test by yourself, although you can always ask for help from your trusty lab assistants: Dr. Ali and Dr. One. Will you perform the test correctly?
Determine the Alcoholic Sample
Familiarize yourself with your lab and identify the relevant reagent you will use from the chemicals provided. Perform the ceric ammonium nitrate test on our two mystery samples. By observing a change in color, determine which sample contains alcohol. Stuck? Dr. One and Dr. Ali will help you with any theory or practical questions throughout.
Perform the ceric ammonium nitrate test
Learn how to process food samples through the ceric ammonium nitrate test as if you were in a lab! Don’t worry about making mistakes; in this lab we can reset the workbench with the press of a button! You can always ask for step-by-step guidance from Dr. Ali and Dr. One if you get stuck. After performing the steps correctly you will get a colorful result!
Interpret the results
Combine the theory of the ceric ammonium nitrate test with your observations to interpret your results Which compound tested positive for alcohols?

For Science Programs Providing a Learning Advantage
North Dakota State College of Science
“They did the simulation at home, then completed the in-person lab within 30 minutes, no questions asked, and passed the quiz with flying colors.”
Lecturer in Human Physiology
University of Westminster
"I saw some of the students who clearly didn’t necessarily like sitting there reading a book discover they could turn on Labster and keep up with the rest of the class because it spoke to them.
Modesto City Schools
"Having something that's engaging for the students gives teachers that opportunity to breathe and get excited again. Because they're seeing the kids light up, they're seeing the kids engage with content."
Wenatchee Valley College
"The question always is, ‘Can we demonstrate that the students are meeting course outcomes?’ Check! We can do that.”
San José State University
"We surveyed over 400 students. More than 90% thought Labster was easy to navigate, and that it was fun, but more importantly, most of them felt confident that they could execute the labs in person. And that confidence is a big deal."

A Labster virtual lab is an interactive, multimedia assignment that students access right from their computers. Many Labster virtual labs prepare students for success in college by introducing foundational knowledge using multimedia visualizations that make it easier to understand complex concepts. Other Labster virtual labs prepare learners for careers in STEM labs by giving them realistic practice on lab techniques and procedures.
Labster’s virtual lab simulations are created by scientists and designed to maximize engagement and interactivity. Unlike watching a video or reading a textbook, Labster virtual labs are interactive. To make progress, students must think critically and solve a real-world problem. We believe that learning by doing makes STEM stick.
Yes, Labster is compatible with all major LMS (Learning Management Systems) including Blackboard, Canvas, D2L, Moodle, and many others. Students can access Labster like any other assignment. If your institution does not choose an LMS integration, students will log into Labster’s Course Manager once they have an account created. Your institution will decide which is the best access method.
Labster is available for purchase by instructors, faculty, and administrators at education institutions. Purchasing our starter package, Labster Explorer, can be done using a credit card if you are located in the USA, Canada, or Mexico. If you are outside of North America or are choosing a higher plan, please speak with a Labster sales representative. Compare plans.
Labster supports a wide range of STEM courses at the high school, college, and university level across fields in biology, chemistry, physics, and health sciences. You can identify topics for your courses by searching our Content Catalog.
