sodium
sodium will react with oxygen and kerosene will have no oxygen molecules in it
no
phosphorous is kept immersed in water because it reacts with air.
Sodium is metal. It is poisonous substance and also highly reactive. It catches fire when exposed in air.
sodium must be kept under kerosene
sodium will react with oxygen and kerosene will have no oxygen molecules in it
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 .
no
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
Why. Alkali. Metals are kept. In kerosene
phosphorous is kept immersed in water because it reacts with air.
Sodium metal reacts violently with water, and is stored in kerosine (for example) to avoid contact with moisture in the air.
Sodium is metal. It is poisonous substance and also highly reactive. It catches fire when exposed in air.
For a long term, stable storage this might be useful to prevent oxidation by exclusion of air (oxygen).
sodium must be kept under kerosene
Yes sodium is very reactive metal.Just because of this it is kept in kerosene or some another oil because it is very reactive with oxygen and water.
