What are the four substances that sublime?

Carbon dioxide (CO2), iodine (I2), "moth balls," which are mostly naphthalene (C10H8), and arsenic (As) at really high temperatures.


Which is a sublime solid sulphur or naphthalene?

Sublimation is the direct transformation of a compound (or element) from the solid phase to gas phase.Under ordinary conditions, sulfur has a low enough vapor pressure that it doesn't sublime to any appreciable extent. Naphthalene, on the other hand, does ... that's one of the reasons it's used in moth balls.


What property of napththalene balls allows it to be used in moth balls for cloth protection?

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.


What's the reason are Naphthalene balls are kept in the toilets?

Naphthalene balls are kept in toilets to help prevent odors and repel insects. The strong smell of naphthalene masks any unpleasant odors, while the chemical itself is believed to deter pests like cockroaches and moths.


Explain why naphthalene or moth balls disappear without wetting the clothes?

Naphthalene (moth balls) sublimes, which means it transitions from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid phase. This process occurs due to the substance's high vapor pressure at room temperature, causing it to evaporate directly into the air. As a result, naphthalene can disappear from clothes without leaving any visible residue.

How naphthalene balls sublimate?

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


What is the common property of iodine and naphthalene?

they both sublime, in which the solid particles will change directly into gas.


How do naphthalene balls become smaller. name the process?

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.


Does inhalation of naphthalene balls cause any danger?

Most certainly, inhalation of naphthalene is dangerous!


What happens to the solid particles of naphthalene when heated?

When naphthalene is heated, the solid particles sublimate, meaning they change directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase. This sublimation process causes the naphthalene to vaporize and release a characteristic odor.


Is naphthalene ball acidic or basic?

Naphthalene balls are neither acidic nor basic. They are neutral in nature.


Is camphor and naphthalene balls the same?

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.

Is naphthalene balls poison?

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.


What is the use of Naphthalene balls at?

they're called mothballs-for moths.
