Question 38

In summer, ice is kept wrapped in a gunny bag. Explain the reason.

Answer

The air filled in the fine pores of the gunny bag is insulator of heat. The air does not allow heat from outside to pass through it to the ice thus preventing the ice from melting rapidly. So in summer, ice is kept wrapped in a gunny bag.
