Balance the following equations: i) KClO3 KCl + O2 ii) HNO3 + NaHCO3 NaNO3 + H2O + CO2 iii) Na + H2O NaOH + H2

i) 2KClO3 → 2KCL + 3O2

ii) HNO3 + NaHCO3 → H20 + CO2

iii) 2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2

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.
