Metals such as potassium and sodium react so vigorously that they catch fire if kept in open.Hence,to protect them and to prevent their burning they are stored in kerosene as moisture cannot enter in it.
Dry linen will catch fire easily and so it should be kept away from sources of ignition.
Sodium is metal. It is poisonous substance and also highly reactive. It catches fire when exposed in air.
Cesium is the most reactive metal in the periodic table and will catch fire when exposed to airPhosphorus : A non-metal element, no. 15, symbol P. Most familiar as a waxy, yellow solid which is spontaneously inflammable in air.
sodium must be kept under kerosene
Potassium hydroxide absorbs carbon dioxide given out by plant
Sodium and potassium are highly reactive metals and catch fire if kept in open, even in the room temperature.
When exposed to air or moisture, sodium will catch fire. Hence sodium cannot be kept in bottles on the shelf and generally sodium is kept inserted in non-polar solvents such as kerosene, pentane, hexane etc.
When exposed to air or moisture, sodium will catch fire and explode. So it is kept immersed in an inert or non-polar solvent (such as hexane, pentane) to prevent its contact with air or moisture.
Away from fire.
Dry linen will catch fire easily and so it should be kept away from sources of ignition.
Sodium is kept immersed in Kerosene oil because it's extremely reactive and will react with steam or any other substance. So as to obtain it in its pure form, it's kept in oil. Sodium is very reactive metal and it reacts with any thing that comes into contact with it.It is kept under the oil because it might react with air .
When you cut the likes of sodium or potassium it leaves a shiny surface which will quickly turn dull as they react with Oxygen in the air. To prevent them reacting with any of the air, these elements are usually kept in oil.
Any of the alkali metals: lithium, sodium, potassium, etc.
Because is reacts with water causing hydrogen to be released and catch fire. Na + H2O = NaOH + H also it will also float on water having a density of 0.98 g/cm^3
because you suck
It doesn't. It actually has more sodium than most other vegetables. This leads to more water weight kept in the body. The only way to counter the sodium is to eat a lot of potassium. Sodium and potassium are exact opposites when it comes to water retention.
Sodium is metal. It is poisonous substance and also highly reactive. It catches fire when exposed in air.
