To prevent this explosive reaction, Sodium is kept immersed in kerosene because Sodium doesn't react with kerosene.$

Sodium and potassium are highly reactive metals and react vigorously with oxygen present in the air such that it may even catch fire. Sodium does not react with kerosene; this is the reason for preserving sodium in kerosene.
