Q. Stainless steel containers can used to store pickles but do not copper ones why?

Answer :-

Stainless steel is used to store the pickles but not the copper vessel because the stainless steel is not a reactive metal .It is an alloy of iron, chromium,carbon as its constituents.So ,it doesn't reacts with the acid present in the pickles and don't form cause the food poisoning.

In case when we kept pickles in copper vessel it reacts with acids present in pickles and form poisoning metal salts which corroded the surface of copper container and finally it causes the food poisoning.That's why copper is not used to store pickles.
