Question

why sodium metal is kept in kerosene? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

hola...

Sodium is a very reactive metal. It is kept in kerosene to prevent it from coming in contact with oxygen and moisture. If this happens, it will react with the moisture present in air and formsodium hydroxide. This is a strongly exothermic reaction, and lot of heat is generated...

Answer 2

Answer:

Sodium is kept immersed in kerosense because it reacts vigrously with oxygen and water. So if they are left open they react very explosively with both water and air that is why they are stored in kerosene instead.
