When a mineral was heated in a bunsen flame to constant mass, a colourless gas that turned lime water milky was evolved. the remaining solid was cooled and then added to aqueous hydrochloric acid. vigorous effervescence was seen.

what was the mineral?

a aragonite, caco3

b artinite, mgco3.mg(oh)2.3h2o

c barytocalcite, baco3.caco3

d dolomite, caco3.mgco3

on passing the small ampere of electric current through the tube made of ar and hg of cfl generates uv rays which excites the fluorescent and thus emits the high radiation by consumption of just 5- 12 w in comparison to incandescent light which requires more power such as around 40 - 55 w to lighten.

moreover the life span of fluorescent or cfl is around 8000 h whereas the life span of incandescent is around 1200 h

hence, the building installed with incandescent lights bears more electricity bill.
