Heating mothballs can cause them to sublimate, releasing toxic fumes containing chemicals like naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene. Inhaling these fumes can lead to symptoms like headache, dizziness, nausea, and respiratory irritation. It is important to follow safety precautions and use mothballs as directed to prevent exposure to these harmful substances.

What happens when mothballs are added to baking soda and vinegar?

This demonstration actually works better when the mothballs are added to a clear soda drink (e.g. 7-Up). The mothballs by themselves are just a little bit denser than the liquid, so they sink to the bottom. As carbon dioxide bubbles accumulate on the outside of the mothballs they eventually become buoyant and slowly rise to the top. While at the top the bubbles break and the mothballs sink again. This will repeat until the liquid runs out of carbon dioxide. As the mothballs are not soluble in water, if you use a clear soda drink you can still drink it when you are done (after removing the mothballs so you won't risk swallowing one and choking), but it of course will be somewhat "flat".
