Answer:
The reason behind storing the potassium and sodium in kerosene is because they are highly reactive in air and could burn any time. They are preserved in kerosene or dry mineral oil. These metals are stored in kerosene to protect this element from moisture or water content.
Sodium is a highly reactive metal and reacts 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.
