Question

Why are cans used for storing foods electroplated with tin?

Open in App
Solution

Dear student

​Cans used for storing food are electroplated with tin because tin coating is anti-corrosive in nature and is neutral towards the acidic nature of some foods, so it does not react with the food and does not spoil it.
