\nof emissivity. This means that black radiates heat most effectively of any color.
\nYou may have heard of a black body<\/a> radiator, the coefficient of emissivity is unrelated
\nto this phenomena so don’t get confused!<\/p>\nWhy shouldn’t you store leftovers in the “tin” can that they came in?<\/h2>\n
\nhas been tin plated. The problem is that the steel and tin are electrochemically
\nactive, this means that the tin and steel will exchange electrons, causing rust!
\nThe reason that the cans don’t rust before you get them is that the inside of the
\ncan is oxygen free (otherwise there would be lots of botulism<\/a>). The reduction reaction on the steel requires
\noxygen, so if you pop open your can of fruit and toss the remainder in the fridge,
\nwhen you get it back out to finish it you’ll be eating the iron atoms (rust) that
\nhave started to form in solution!<\/p>\n
