Generally until they dissolve-say a couple months.
Yes, heat plays a large roll in the disintegration of moth balls. Ventilation is another main factor in disintegration of moth balls.
No, rain will not dissolve moth balls as they are made from materials like naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene which are not water-soluble. However, prolonged exposure to moisture may cause them to lose their potency over time. It's best to keep moth balls in airtight containers to protect them from moisture.
it could be from a week to months
There are a number of things you can do to separate powdered moth balls into to salt. Dissolve the moth balls in water.
In the case of moth balls in air, the moth balls themselves are the solute (the substance being dissolved or dispersed) and air is the solvent (the substance in which the solute is dissolved or dispersed). However, it's worth noting that moth balls do not actually dissolve in air but release vapors that act as repellents.
No, but they don't last too long after exposure to air. Eventually they dissolve so no expiration date applies.
Although moth balls are non-polar, they can still dissolve in polar alcohol because of the principle "like dissolves like." This means that substances with similar polarities tend to mix well together. Even though there is a polarity difference, the interactions between the molecules of the moth balls and alcohol can still allow for dissolution.
Moth balls do not control gophers. They do tend to repel them as they do not like the scent of the moth ball though.
Because when you fry moths and then freeze them they become little balls there for being frozen moth balls!
No, camphor balls and moth balls are not the same thing. Camphor balls are made from natural camphor and are used for their aromatic properties. Moth balls are typically made from naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene and are used as a pest deterrent for moths and other insects.
