When you open a solid room air freshener the solid slowly loses mass and volume how do you think this happen?

Evaporation.
Air fresheners contain volatile compounds that evaporate relatively easily. The effect is comparable to what happens when you put out a saucer of water; the water evaporates (because the air isn't saturated with water vapour), it doesn't have to BOIL.

Occurs when water vapor changes to liquid water?
Its a change in energy primarily. Water vapor loses energy and then becomes liquid. The energy it loses generally is heat. For example, Put water vapor in a sealed container in a freezer, it will change from vapor to liquid, then liquid to solid as it loses energy in the form of heat

Why does a solid room air freshener lose volume and mass?
When you open a solid air freshner, the solid slowly loses mass and volume due to sublimation. Sublimation occurs when the surface particles of a solid gain enough energy to form a gas. Since solids are closely packed together and have a definite shape and volume and gases have no definite volume, when the solid air freshner sublimates, it causes the solid to lose shape and volume to turn into gas.
