Hi guys. I've got a couple of questions in Physics (Electricity).
Q - When a road tanker pumps oil or petrol into a storage tank, the connecting pipe must be earthed. If it is not, it could become charged. A build up of charge would cause a spark which could make the fuel vapour explode.
i - Why is the rubber hose of a petrol pump made of conducting rubber?
ii -Why must the storage tank and road tanker also be earthed before the fuel is pumped into the storage tank?

Thanks.

what is terminal velocity
when an object is falling , first it's weight (gravity) is acting on it pulling it down , then the air resistance pulls it up until the upward force (caused by air resistance) is = to the downward force , so it falls with a constant speed .. which is terminal velocity :)

Why is an acid added when identifying the anion part of a salt?
u see its actually not necessary to add an acid
the actual reason behind it is to form an insoluble precipitate of the anion
eg. a soluble salt of barium is added for sulfate ion testing because BaSO4 is insoluble
the only sensible reason to think of is that it acts as a catalyst

i dont now if it is by an enzyme bt d answer must be photosynthesis
here light acts as a catalyst for d light reaction wich is breaking down of water molecules
chlorophyll may be an enzyme
for all i noe respiration is not d answer
