when stored in the iron can, the acid content in the food reacts with the iron and spoils the food. while the tin can doesnot spoil the food.

Since iron is more reactive than tin so it can reacts with the acids present in food so   tin cans are used to store food instead of iron cans.

Give me thumbs up.

 because iron gets rusted very soon and thus spoils the food.

 Tin cans are not made entirely of tin, and the name "tin can" would be more accurate if it were "tinned can". The can is actually made of steel, plated on the outside with tin. The steel gives the can strength, and the tin plating helps to protect the steel from rusting. As your question indicates, there are situations in which the tin is not entirely successful in preventing rust.

Aluminum cans are more naturally resistant to corrosion, and are also more easily made, because aluminum is more easily formed into a can than steel is.

 

best of luck for exams!!!
