Question

Why sodium does not react with kerosene?

Open in App
Solution

Sodium is a very reactive element, it is a strong reducing agent therefore it reduces oxygen and water. Compounds present in kerosene are already reduced hence no further reduction of kerosene oil can take place. Therefore Na does not show any reaction with kerosene oil.
