Answer:

Sodium is stored in Kerosene because it's a very reactive metal if it comes in contact with the air it reacts vigorously with the moisture present in the air and forms Sodium hydroxide.

It's a highly exothermic reaction.

Answer:

Sodium is a very reactive metal. When it is kept in an open environment it reacts with the gases present in the air. Therefore, to prevent the reaction of sodium, it is kept under kerosene oil.
