Answer 1

Answer:

Sodium and Potassium are highly reactive metals and react vigorously with the oxygen, carbon dioxide and moisture present in the air such that it may even cause a fire. To prevent this explosive reaction, Sodium is kept immersed in kerosene because Sodium doesn't react with kerosene.

Explanation:

I hope you got your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

SODIUM AND POTASSIUM IS A HIGHLY REACTIVE METAL. IF KEPT OPEN IT REACTS WITH OXYGEN AT ROOM TEMPERATURE . THE REACTION IS EXTREMELY EXOTHERMIC I.E. A LOT OF HEAT IS PRODUCED . THIS EVEN CAUSES BURNING AND DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS .  

SODIUM DOES NOT BREACT WITH KEROSENE AND HENCE IT IS PRESERVED IN KEROSENE

HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU
