Heya!
Here is your answer!
==========================================================
Sodium react with air when they're kept in open air......so to reduce or stop them to react and cause fire ,kerosene is added.kerosene as you know is an oil and like oil it will float....this will create a layer on the top and hence ,will stop them both from reacting...

Hope it helps!
