उत्तर

Food cans are coated with tin and not with zinc because zinc is more reactive than tin.

Explanation:

Zinc is more reactive than tin (zinc is above tin in the reactivity series), so it will react with organic acids (present in food) to form poisonous compounds. To avoid this, food cans are coated with tin and not with zinc.
