why is sodium is kept immersed in kerosene oil​

Answer 1

Sodium is high reactive element. If it is kept in open it can explosively react with oxygen to catch fire. Hence to prevent accidental damage sodium is immersed in kerosene oil.

Answer 2

Answer:

To prevent it from burning

Explanation:

sodium is a highly reactive metal, it ranks 2nd on the reactivity series of metals.....it can easily combust in open air as it can burn on low temperatures.

therefore it is kept in kerosene so that it does not come in direct contact with oxygen to prevent it from spontaneously combusting
