sodium is stored in kerosene bec it reacts vigourously with air.
2Na+2H2O--->2NaOH+H2+Heat
2Na+2H2O--->2NaOH+H2+Heat
Plz give the reaction
, if the air is moist and contains a lot of water, sodium can react violently with the water content of air to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas + a lot of heat which usually results in fire...
2Na+2H2O--->2NaOH+H2+Heat
