Question

How can we store the metal ‘sodium’?

Sodium must be stored in a closed container under kerosene, toluene, or mineral oil. Contact with water should be avoided because sodium reacts violently with water to form hydrogen (H2) with evolution of sufficient heat to cause ignition. Store away from water and moisture
