Answer 2

Answer:

In our households, plastic jars are used to keep the pickles.

Explanation:

Plastic jars are used to store pickles at home because they do not react with the acid present in the pickles.

Pickles are not stored in metal jars because of the presence of acid in the pickle, which reacts with metals which is harmful to the human body and can lead to several health problems.

The chemical property of the metal is to form salt and hydrogen with acids.

Metal + Acid → Salt + H₂(g)

Hence, plastic jars are used rather than metal jars as metals react with the acid to form harmful substances.
