No dear we cannot store lemon pickle in an aluminium utensil because aluminium is a metal and metals readily react with acids to produce hydrogen. When aluminium comes in contact with lemon, which is acidic , would react to give hydrogen and the pickles will be spoiled .

No,. Because aluminium utensil is metal and lemon pickle is is acidic so, when they come in to contact, chemical reaction take place in which hydrogen gas is produced and the lemon pickle is not useable any more.

No, we cannot store the lemon pickle in aluminium utensil because aluminium is a metal and lemon is acid. The acids react with aluminium to release hydrogen which would spoil the food and render it unfit for use.
