Explain why naphthalene or moth balls disappear without wetting the clothes?
Naphthalene or moth balls sublimate(change from a solid to a gas) so they can "disappear" without wetting the clothes.
What has the change is a state of matter from a liquid to a gas?
sublimation is the process in which a solid directly gets converted into a gas. example:camphor, naphthalene
Do naphthalene balls sublime?
Yes, naphthalene balls have the property of sublimation. This means that they transition directly from a solid state to a gaseous state without passing through a liquid state. When exposed to air, naphthalene balls slowly vaporize and release a strong odor.
What are examples of substances that changes to solid from gas?
That is a substance that sublimes. It is not common. Naphthalene (old-fashioned moth balls), also carbon dioxide (dry ice)
Why mothballs turn small?
Mothballs are often made from naphthalene. Naphthalene sublimes, that is it goes straight from solid to gas.

Where did your moth balls go 6 months ago you put them in your camper and now there gone why?
Naphthalene or moth balls sublimate(change from a solid to a gas) so they can "disappear."
Why does a diamond change directly from a solid state to a gaseous state?
this is a property of some substances in which they directly change from solid to liquids called sublimation another example is naphthalene balls Sublimation = solid - gas the solid is called sublimate
How naphthalene balls sublimate?
Because it sublimes (changes directly from a solid to a vapor) at room temperature. naphthalene balls are vaporisable substance so they easily turn into vapor , they can turn into vapor because the intermolecular force is very weak so it easily vaporises to gas
Does inhalation of naphthalene balls cause any danger?
Most certainly, inhalation of naphthalene is dangerous!

What is the common property of iodine and naphthalene?
they both sublime, in which the solid particles will change directly into gas.
Do naphthalene balls sublime?
Yes, naphthalene balls have the property of sublimation. This means that they transition directly from a solid state to a gaseous state without passing through a liquid state. When exposed to air, naphthalene balls slowly vaporize and release a strong odor.
What is the use of Naphthalene balls at?
they're called mothballs-for moths.
What is the actual cost of 1 kg of nepthlene balls in Indian scenario and currency?
naphthalene balls
Naphthalene balls disappear with time without leaving solid why?
The "moth balls" perform an action called "Subliming". That is, they go from a solid state directing to a gaseous state. This is the same thing that 'Dry Ice' does. Dry Ice is solid CO2 , and does not melt into a liquid state, but rather it goes from solid to gas directly.
Why napyhalene balls are kept in woolen and silk clothes?
Naphthalene gas kills moth eggs and larvae, protecting the fabrics. You need to keep them in a sealed container so the gas doesn't leak out.
