Which carbide is used for preparing acetylene?

This is calcium carbide - CaC2.


What kind Of Carbide is needed for lamp?

Calcium Carbide is used in "Carbide Lamps". Water, added dropwise to Calcium Carbide yields acetylene plus calcium hydroxide. Acetylene is extremely flammable, giving a colorless flame. The calcium hydroxide present gives the flame its visibility. Calcium Carbide is used in "Carbide Lamps". Water, added dropwise to Calcium Carbide yields acetylene plus calcium hydroxide.

Is carbide magnetic material?

Carbide, which is a compound of carbon and a more electropositive element, is generally not considered a magnetic material. Most carbides, such as tungsten carbide or silicon carbide, do not exhibit ferromagnetism or strong magnetic properties. However, some specific carbide materials may show weak magnetic characteristics under certain conditions, but they are not classified as magnetic materials in the conventional sense.
