Question

why are sodium and potassium stored in kerosene
​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Sodium and potassium are highly reactive elements. They can easily catch fire if they come in contact with oxygen. They are stored in kerosene to prevent such reactions.
