Why does paradichlorobenzene dissolve in naphthalene?
Paradichlorobenzene dissolves in naphthalene because naphthalene is a solid and the other is a liquid. The solid dissolves the liquid.
A student found that the mass of the naphthalene collected was less than the mass determined by difference. What would account for the smaller amount of the naphthalene collected?
The naphthalene solid has a significant vapor pressure, as indicated by its strong odor. The solid naphthalene will evaporate, decreasing the mass of solid naphthalene present.m collected + m evaporated = Delta m
Why is solid naphthalene not heated directly with a Bunsen burner?
Because it is flammable substances
What solid sublimes on heating?
Some solids are Carbon dioxide, Snow, Iodine and Naphthalene
How can you separate a mixture of naphthalene and ammonium chloride?
One way is to slurry the solid mixture with water. The ammonium chloride will dissolve and the naphthalene will not. Ammonium chloride can then be recovered by evaporating the water solution of it that is formed.
Why does paradichlorobenzene dissolve in naphthalene?
Paradichlorobenzene dissolves in naphthalene because naphthalene is a solid and the other is a liquid. The solid dissolves the liquid.
Appearance of naphthalene?
At standard temperature and pressure, naphthalene is a white crystalline solid.
A student found that the mass of the naphthalene collected was less than the mass determined by difference. What would account for the smaller amount of the naphthalene collected?
The naphthalene solid has a significant vapor pressure, as indicated by its strong odor. The solid naphthalene will evaporate, decreasing the mass of solid naphthalene present.m collected + m evaporated = Delta m
Why mothballs turn small?
Mothballs are often made from naphthalene. Naphthalene sublimes, that is it goes straight from solid to gas.
Why naphthalene undergoes sublimation but has melting point?
Similar to dry ice (solid CO2), pressure is necessary for the formation of liquid naphthalene.
What is the balanced equation for naphthalene dissolving in ethanol?
naphathalene(solid)->naphathalene(liquid)
Why is solid naphthalene not heated directly with a Bunsen burner?
Because it is flammable substances
How are naphthalene and biphenyl similar?
Both are bicyclic aromatic solid compounds insoluble in water
What solid sublimes on heating?
Some solids are Carbon dioxide, Snow, Iodine and Naphthalene
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 is the common property of iodine and naphthalene?
they both sublime, in which the solid particles will change directly into gas.
What is the process of separating water and naphthalene?
Filtration because it says that it can separate fine solid from liquids.
