Why is it that, in cold winters, a tub of water placed in a farmer’s canning cellar helps prevent canned food from freezing?
To Explain:The reason for placing a tub of water in a farmer’s canning cellar in cold winters to help prevent canned food from freezing.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Freezing of a substance is prevented when temperature is above the freezing point.
When the water in the tub freezes, some amount of thermal energy is released in the canning cellar. This thermal energy is released continuously and it prevents the cellar’s temperature from going to freezing point.
Conclusion:
Thus, a tub filled with water which is placed in a farmer’s canning cellar in cold winters helps to prevent canned food from freezing.
