Question

Why is sodium kept immersed in kerosene oil ???​

Answer 1

Explanation:

it is highly reactive in nature and reacts with the oxygen present in the air that can lead to a blast thus it is kept in kerosene oil

Answer 2

Answer

Sodium (Na+) is a very reactive metal and when it comes into the contact of oxygen (O₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂) and moisture (H₂O), present in the atmosphere or air, it gets vigorous and catches fire. Interestingly, sodium metal is found to be non-reactive in the kerosene oil. Therefore, the sodium metal is kept immersed in the kerosene oil to avoid the probabilities of accidental fire and minimize the chances of severe injuries or damages.
