Why naphthalene sublimes at room temperature if its melting point is 80 degree?

The definition of sublimation is when a material goes directly from solid to gas phase, without melting first. If the material is liquid and it transforms to gas, that's called evaporation (when it's gradual at any temperature) or boiling (when it all starts to change state at the boiling point). Whenever a solid vaporizes into gas phase, that's called sublimation.
Naphthalene appears to sublime below its melting point because molecules are constantly leaving the surface (it has a high vapour pressure) and these molecules disperse into the air.

What is the temperature in degree C when the temperature is 59 degree F?
15 0C is the temperature for the required conversion.
What is the melting point of nylon 6?
Hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl oxygen and the hydrogen on the amine group make it more difficult to break up Nylons, thus higher melting temperature than other polymers. this answer was copied from ID2176515335
What degree is a moderate temperature?
37.5
How much ice to lower the temperature of a gallon of 90 degree F water by 1 degree F?
Depends on the temperature of the ice.
What is Melting Temperature of LLDPE?
It is 115- 135 degree of centigrade
What is the temperature at which ice melts?
when temperature start increaseing from 0 degree, ice start melting
What solid can be dissolved?
every solid can be dissolved. The melting temperature is 100 degree celsius
What is the melting point of medal?
It depends on the metal. For example, Iron (Fe) has a melting temperature above 2000 degrees F, while Aluminum (Al) has a melting temperature below 2000 degree F. Moreover, Lead (Pb) has a temperature considerably lower then both Iron and Aluminum.
What is the temperature of a ice cube when it is mealting?
as you might be knowing that freezing and melting point of ice(water) is same the only difference is that when water freezes it gives out its heat whereas while melting it absorbs the heat . so when the ice is melting its temperature remains zero degree .
What is a sentence using the words melting point scientific?
The melting point of ice is 1 degree Celsius
Why an iron almirah is a solid at room temperature?
this is because iron has a very high melting point and therefore at room temperature it remains as a solid......
Is -38.8 degrees Celsius hot or cold?
-38.8 degree Celsius = 234.35 Kelvin = -37.84 degree Fahrenheit The temperature is about 39 degree below melting point of ice and is pretty cold.
What is the temperature at which ice starts melting?
Freezing: 0 Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit, unless the sun is shining on it and the temperature is just below freezing.
Ice melts at o degree centigrate the temperature remain constant at o degree centegrate until all the ice has melted suggest why the temperature remains constant during melting although heat is abs?
At melting point of a substance the supplied heat is utilized to change the state so temperature remains constant till all the material is converted into liquid, this is known asLatent heat of fusion.
What are the melting points for iron?
1535 degree melting of iron
What temperature does it have to be to melt a soup can?
Most soup cans are not aluminum- they are tin plated steel. While the exact melting point will vary with the alloy used, it is ABOUT 1,350 degrees Celsius. It is MUCH higher than the melting point of aluminum.
