\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{orange}{orange}{Answer}}

Sodium metal is kept immersed in kerosene oil to prevent accidental fire.

It is very reactive metal and combines explosively with air as well as water. It will catch fire if kept in open.

Answer:

here is your answer

Explanation:

Sodium and Potassium are highly reactive metals and react 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.
