Want this question answered?
When naphthalene and phenolphthalein dissolve in ethanol it creates a crystal-like powder. The powder will also appear to have a yellow tinge and has no smell.
Naphthalene is a white solid substance with a strong smell. Poisoning from naphthalene destroys or changes red blood cells so they cannot carry oxygen. This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911).

1.)Get a salt. smell it. then try to burn it. Put a pinch of salt in a water. 2.)Now get a naphthalene. smell it. then burn it. Get another naphthalene and put it in a water. Salt(inorganic, polar) has no odor. it doesn't also burn but it dissolves in water. Naphthalene is aromatic (most organic compounds has odor), can catch fire (because of carbon and hydrogen backbone) and doesn't dissolves in water because it is non-polar while H2O is polar (it has positive and negative ends) .therefore they are imiscible because like only dissolves like.

I am looking for the same answer.
Air the thing out for several hours. The smell is just naphthalene vapors and it will slowly disperse when no longer kept in a confined space.
