MCQ
Many Lanthanoid elements are used to prepare:
  • A
    Ceramic materials.
  • B
    Water softener.
  • Superconducting materials.
  • D
    Enzyme catalysts.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Superconducting materials.
Many Lanthanoid elements are used to prepare superconducting materials.
Examples include Lanthanum sesquicarbide superconductor $\mathrm{La}_2 \mathrm{C}_3​.$ Gadolinium at very low temperatures becomes highly magnetic and may function as a superconductor.

$p$-Amino- $N, N$-dimethylaniline is added to a strongly acidic solution of ${X}$. The resulting solution is treated with a few drops of aqueous solution of ${Y}$ to yield blue coloration due to the formation of methylene blue. Treatment of the aqueous solution of ${Y}$ with the reagent potassium hexacyanoferrate$(II)$ leads to the formation of an intense blue precipitate. The precipitate dissolves on excess addition of the reagent. Similarly, treatment of the solution of ${Y}$ with the solution of potassium hexacyanoferrate$(III)$ leads to a brown coloration due to the formation of ${Z}$.
