WHY SODIUM AND POTASSIAM STORED IN KEROSEAN​

Answer 1

GOOD MORNING BUDDY,

Why are sodium and potassium stored in kerosene?

Sodium and potassium metals are kept in kerosene or in dry mineral oil. Both of these metals are in Group 1 on the periodic table. All metals in that group are very reactive with water, including moisture in the atmosphere. You may have seen videos where people have thrown chunks of sodium metal into bodies of water. Potassium reacts even more violently.
