Because water contains oxygen . When sodium is kept in kerosene it doesn't interact with the atmosphere and catches fire when kept in water it catches fire because it contains oxygen



nareshsupran: Because water contain little much oxygen in it in the form of H2O

Hi!
Here's your answer>>>
Na is kept under kerosene and not water because Na is a Highly Reactive metal and it reacts with water when it kept under water. It forms SodiumHydroxide.

Hope that this will help you ☺☺
