I just got done talking with a vendor for pH probes and he explained that the KCl solution helps facilitate the measurement of the hydrogen ions with the electrode. It will actually seep out in small quantities from the tip which is a membrane.
as silver is less reactive than copper the silver when immersed will loose its electrons and the copper will displace it. i apologize if it is the wrong answer.... this is actually a guess :P
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 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.
Silver nitrate is very susceptible to reactions that destroy it, catalyzed by short wavelength light, which is strongly absorbed by brown bottles.
Potassium ferrocynide is stored in dark coloured bottels and kept away from sunlight.This is because it decomposes when exposed to sunlight.Thus it is always stored in amber or brown coloured bottels.
Any reaction occur.
phosphorous is kept immersed in water because it reacts with air.
nothing will happen as copper is more reactive than silver.
copper is placed above the silver in the ractivity series which indicates that copper is more reactive than silver . when a copper coin is kept immersed in a solution of siler nitrate ,silver from its solution will deposit on copper coin . copper slowly displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution and the colour of solution changes from colourless to blue due to the formation of copper nitrate . the copper coin will disappear and silver will percipate out .

sodium
No reaction, because iron is a more active metal than copper. This means that copper cannot reduce iron from its salt.

sodium will react with oxygen and kerosene will have no oxygen molecules in it
Mitochondria are kept in sucrose solution to keep them metabolically active
The object would behave as a part of fluid and it will remain where it is kept.
