Answer:

Sodium is a very reactive metal.

It is kept in kerosene to prevent

it from coming in contact with

oxygen and moisture. If this

happens,it will react with the

moisture present in air and form sodium hydroxide which is a

highly exothermic reaction.

  • 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.
