No, camphor and naphthalene balls are not the same. Camphor is derived from the camphor tree and is commonly used in religious rituals and as a household remedy, while naphthalene balls are synthetic moth repellents used to protect clothes from damage by moths and other pests.
No, camphor and naphthalene are different compounds. Camphor is derived from the camphor tree and is commonly used in products like mothballs and personal care items. Naphthalene is a distinct chemical compound used in mothballs and other repellents.
Naphthalene balls decrease in size due to sublimation, a process where the solid naphthalene directly transitions into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. This gradual transition causes the naphthalene balls to shrink over time.
Naphthalene balls are neither acidic nor basic. They are neutral in nature.
Naphthalene balls are not intended for consumption and can be toxic if ingested. They release a gas that can cause health issues if inhaled in high concentrations, particularly for children and pets. It is recommended to keep naphthalene balls out of reach of children and pets and use them as directed for their intended purpose of moth repellent.
Mothballs don't have a chemical name, but we can identify the chemicals used in them. They used to contain naphtha, or naphthalene (C10H8), but they are currently made with 1,4-dichlorobenzene (C6H4Cl2). Camphor (C10H16O) is also used in some mothballs. Manufacturers also include a bit of something that acts as a deodorant. Wikipedia has additional information, and a link is provided.
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.
No, camphor and naphthalene are different compounds. Camphor is derived from the camphor tree and is commonly used in products like mothballs and personal care items. Naphthalene is a distinct chemical compound used in mothballs and other repellents.
When naphthalene is added to camphor, it disrupts the crystalline structure of camphor by interfering with the intermolecular forces between camphor molecules. This disruption causes the camphor molecules to have a harder time coming together in an organized manner for freezing, resulting in a decrease in the freezing point.

Most certainly, inhalation of naphthalene is dangerous!
Naphthalene balls are neither acidic nor basic. They are neutral in nature.
Naphthalene balls, or moth balls, contain naphthalene which is a strong insecticide and repellent that helps deter moths and other insects from damaging clothes. The strong odor of naphthalene is effective in keeping pests away from stored garments.
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.
Naphthalene balls are not intended for consumption and can be toxic if ingested. They release a gas that can cause health issues if inhaled in high concentrations, particularly for children and pets. It is recommended to keep naphthalene balls out of reach of children and pets and use them as directed for their intended purpose of moth repellent.
they're called mothballs-for moths.
