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

Name the process to separate NaCl from a solution of NaCl and water?

Naphthalene is a sublimate. A sublimate is a substance which changes directly from the solid state to the gaseous state and vice-versa. So, by utilising this property, we can separate the mixture of sodium chloride and naphthalene by heating it. The naphthalene will sublimate and we'll be left with sodium chloride.
