Explanation:

Sodium is a highly reactive metal and reacts vigorously with the oxygen, carbon dioxide and moisture present in the air such that it may even cause a fire. To prevent this explosive reaction, Sodium is kept immersed in kerosene because Sodium doesn't react with kerosene.

Sodium metal should be stored under kerosene. ... > Sodium is kept in kerosene because it is a highly reactive metal. If it is kept in an open container, it will react with oxygen and water vapor present in the atmosphere producing sodium oxides and sodium hydroxides respectively which is a highly exothermic reaction.

hope it's helpful...
