Answer:
As copper is a metal which is denotedd by (Cu) symbol . As it is a metal it has all metallic properties like it is lustrous, malleable, ductile ,strong and many more .
Curd is an acid containing milk product called lactic acid.
When we keep acid (curd) in copper vessel , they react with each other and produce hydrogen gas and salt...
Metal +Acid=Salt+hydrogen gas
This hydrogen gas is poisonous if combine with metals. Which is harmful to our bodies heath.

Answer:
As curd contains lactic acid and when it is placed in a copper vessel containing copper(Cu) as main element. Therefore, copper reacts with curd in the form of
Metal + Acid ----> Salt + Hydrogen gas
As, this H2 gas is poisonous if it combines with metals ,it is harmful for health.
