Oxygen (which react with sodium) is not dissolved in kerosene.
Sodium is not placed in air because it is highly reactive and in the air it reacts with air very violently with the oxygen and burns with explosion. Hence it is always kept inside kerosene
Sodium is not generally "extracted from its ore" to be recovered and used. Most of the sodium we consume is used in the form of sodium compounds, like table salt (NaCl, or sodium chloride). Recovering the pure metal takes some doing as it is highly reactive. Sodium metal reacts with the moisture in air, and must be stored below something like kerosene to keep it isolated and in its elemental form. To extract sodium metal, we generally use electrolysis on molten salt (sodium chloride) in what is called a Downs cell. The metal is recovered, cooled and "packaged" to keep it from reacting with anything prior to use. A link can be found below to check facts and learn more.
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.
Sodium is a nonmetal that can be preserved by storing it under a layer of oil or in an inert gas atmosphere to prevent it from reacting with oxygen in the air.
Alkali metals such as sodium and potassium are typically stored in oil to prevent reactions with moisture in the air. Aromatic compounds such as benzene are also soluble in kerosene, making it a common solvent for these compounds.
Sodium is stored in kerosene or paraffin because these substances are non-reactive towards sodium. Sodium is highly reactive with air and moisture, which can lead to rapid oxidation and potential ignition. Storing sodium in kerosene or paraffin helps to protect it from reacting with these elements.
Sodium is preserved in kerosene because kerosene is a non-reactive liquid that helps prevent sodium from reacting with moisture or oxygen in the air. This prevents the formation of sodium oxide or sodium hydroxide, which can make the sodium less effective for certain applications. Additionally, storing sodium in kerosene can help prevent it from catching fire, as kerosene is a flammable liquid that can act as a fire suppressant.
Sodium is stored in kerosene because it is highly reactive with air and water. Storing it in kerosene helps prevent it from reacting with moisture and oxygen in the air. This ensures that the sodium remains stable until needed for use.
Sodium metal reacts violently with water, producing hydrogen gas and heat, which can lead to ignition or explosion. Storing sodium in kerosene prevents it from coming into contact with water, reducing the risk of an uncontrollable reaction. Kerosene also forms a protective layer around the sodium, preventing it from reacting with air.
Sodium and the other alkali metals are highly unstable, because of that one electron attached to the outer shell of a sodium atom, they will react with almost anything to get rid of that annoyance. So, kerosene, being one of the noble gases and totally inert (meaning highly stable and not able to react with anything expect for a few highly unstable/radioactive elements), is used to seal the sodium from reacting.
Sodium is typically stored in a container filled with mineral oil or kerosene to prevent it from reacting with air and moisture, which can lead to a fire or explosion. Storing sodium in this manner helps maintain its purity and prevents accidental reactions.
Sodium is typically stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and air to prevent it from reacting. Common storage options include airtight containers, sealed bags, or inert gases like argon to minimize oxidation and clumping.
The kerosene molecule does NOT have any oxygen atoms in the molecule; it is an hydrocarbon. Sodium metal will readily react with oxygen, be it in a molecule ( water) or the atmosphere ( atmospheric oxygen in the air). Hence to keep it away from oxygen, it is kept under kerosene. as are all the other Group(1) [alkali] metals.
Sodium metal reacts vigorously with air and water, forming sodium hydroxide and releasing hydrogen gas. Storing sodium under kerosene prevents it from coming into contact with these moisture and oxygen in the air, which could lead to explosions or fires. Kerosene acts as a protective layer to keep the sodium metal isolated from these reactive elements.
Sodium must be kept under mineral oil to prevent it from reacting with moisture in the air and forming sodium hydroxide. Additionally, it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of heat or ignition.
It is very reactive with water, even moisture in the air, so we store Na metal in paraffin oil.
Sodium and potassium are stored in kerosene because they react violently with moisture in the air, which could lead to fires or explosions. Kerosene provides a non-reactive environment that helps to keep the metals from coming into contact with water or air.
