Question

Can you store the lemon pickle in an aluminum vessel?

Answer 1

• Lemon pickle contains acid in it and acids react with metals to form salt and liberate hydrogen$\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\right)$ gas.
• If we store lemon pickles in an aluminum container, aluminum ($\mathrm{Al}$) will react with acid present in a lemon pickle and liberate hydrogen gas.
• This will result in the spoiling of pickles and will lead to the deterioration of the quality and taste of pickles and would also harm the human body if consumed.

Hence, lemon pickles should not be stored in an aluminum vessel.
