Why is sodium kept in kerosene oil?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To prevent its reaction with air and moisture

Sodium is a highly reactive metal. It reacts rapidly with oxygen and moisture in air, and the heat produced may even cause it to catch fire. Kerosene isolates sodium from air and moisture. It is not used to increase sodium’s hardness, colour, or electrical conductivity. Exam tip: Highly reactive metals such as sodium and potassium are stored under kerosene oil.
