1. The equation representing the equation is ~
[tex] \mathrm{Na + Cl\rightarrow NaCl}[/tex]
The given reaction is a redox reaction because there's a transfer of electron from Sodium (Na) to chlorine (Cl)
where sodium is oxidized (due to loss of electron) and chlorine get reduced (due to gain of electron).
2. Sodium is a highly reactive element which belongs to the 1st group of periodic table, hence it can catch fire if it is kept free in atmosphere. so in order to prevent that it is stored in kerosene oil, which doesn't let Sodium come in contact with air .
