Moth balls are made of naphthalene, a compound that contains hydrogen and carbon atoms. They are used to keep away moths.
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.
Yes, moth balls contain toxic chemicals that can be harmful to humans when inhaled in high concentrations. Prolonged exposure to moth ball fumes may lead to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and respiratory irritation. It is important to use moth balls according to the manufacturer's instructions in a well-ventilated area to minimize these risks.
To use moth balls in the closet, simply place them in a small open container or tie them in a piece of fabric to prevent direct contact with your clothing. Make sure the closet is well-ventilated to allow the fumes to disperse and avoid placing moth balls near food or in areas accessible to pets or children. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper usage and replacement frequency.
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.
Mothballs work as an insecticide by giving off toxic gases that kill moths, moth larvae and moth eggs in woolen fabrics sealed in tight containers with mothballs. The traditional mothballs generally contain naphthalene and/or paradichlorobenzene. From a solid mothball, it sublimates, forming gas. The particles (see Kinetic Particle Theory) in the mothball gas will then diffuse in the cupboard. By diffusing, the whole cupboard will then have the noxious vapours, which interfere with the respiratory system of the moth or pest, killing it. If there is no present moth/pest in the cupboard, then the noxious vapours will prevent them from coming.
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!
Yes, heat plays a large roll in the disintegration of moth balls. Ventilation is another main factor in disintegration of 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.
