Chemistry question please help?

When carbonated beverages containing acids are packaged in Aluminium cans the cans are lined with a plastic coating so that the beverage does not come in contact with the metalExplain why and what might happen if the plastic were not present.

Answer:

Yes you canYou can also use a cookie sheet and set on top of the pan.
The aluminum should work just fine, but for Hamburger Helper, I always use the circular pizza pan for a lid.
as we know that carbonated beverages contains acid mainly carbonic acid (h3co3)and the cans are made up of aluminium which is a very reactive metal So if both of them acid (carbonated beverages) and metal (aluminium) comes in contact the react very rapidly and forms co2 h2o and other by-products due to which the taste and properties of the beverage will be lost so there is a plastic coating to protract their contact
