Answer:

White Phosphorus is stored under water and not kerosene. It is kept submerged in water because it is a highly reactive metal and when it is exposed to air it autoignition as its ignition temperature is low. When exposed to air, it is oxidized rapidly to phosphorus pentoxide.

Answer:

no phosphorus is not kept in either kerosene or water...it can be kept in any storage box made of metal . The valency of phosphorus is 3+ and it is very least reactive so it can be kept in any metal storage box(because metals won't react with phosphorus
