Question

Why are ice blocks wrapped in sawdust or woolen blanket?


Open in App
Solution

  1. Ice blocks are covered with sawdust or woolen blankets to prevent them from melting.
  2. The sawdust and woolen blankets contain a large amount of trapped air.
  3. The trapped air acts as an insulator and does not allow the heat from outside to reach the ice to melt.
