Why is sodium stored in kerosene
  • 2 answers

Suresh Solanki 6 years, 4 months ago

Because sodium is a very reactive metal

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 4 months ago

Sodium reacts violently with cold water to form sodium hydroxide solution along with the evolution of hydrogen gas.

2Na     + 2H2O  →  2NaOH + H2

Since, sodium reacts vigorously with the oxygen and water producing a lot of heat, it is stored in kerosene.
