The correct basicity order of the following lanthanide ions is
La3+ > Lu3 > Ce3+ > Eu3+
Ce3+ > Lu3+ > La3+ > Eu3+
Lu3+ > Ce3+ > Eu3+ > La3+
La3+ > Ce3+ > Eu3+ > Lu3+
D.
La3+ > Ce3+ > Eu3+ > Lu3+
As size of cation decreases, ionic character decreases, thus basicity also decreases. Hence, correct order is La3+ > Ce3+ > Eu3+ > Lu3+.
Assuming the compounds to be completely dissociated in aqueous solution, identify the pair of the solutions that can be expected to be isotonic at the same temperature.

The role of fluorspar, which is added in small quantities in the electrolytic reduction of alumina dissolved in fused cryolite is
as a catalyst
to make fused mixture conducting
to lower the melting temperature of the mixture
to decrease the rate of oxidation of carbon at anode
