Question

WHY IS SODIUM STORED IN KEROSENE​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sodium is kept in kerosene because it is a highly reactive metal. ... Kerosene oil does not react with sodium and acts as a barrier which restricts its reaction with oxygen and moisture.

Sodium is a very reactive metal. It is kept in kerosene to prevent it from coming in contact with oxygen and moisture. If this happens, it will react with the moisture present in air and form sodium hydroxide which is a highly exothermic reaction.
