Answer:
Kerosene
Explanation:
kerosene
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 metal is highly reactive and never found in elemental form in nature. Because of this reason, they are stored under mineral oil or kerosene.
