Yes, it is volatile enough to smell it, but the amount is very, very low.
Thanks to the (also) very low odour treshold (=high odour potency) you can smell it.
Camphor is a 1,4-bridged-isoprpyl 6C-cyclo methyl-alkan-2-one (C10H16O), one of the bicyclic monoterpenes like pineen (in natural terpentine) and borneol (in artificial lavender- and rosemary oil.
What else can I help you with?
Can camphor and NaCl be saparated by sublimation?
Yes, because camphor is very volatile.
Is camphor crystalline or amorphous?
Camphor is a crystalline substance.
What do you call a substance that evaporates easily?
A substance that evaporates easily is called volatile. Volatile substances have low boiling points and readily transition from a liquid to a gas at normal temperatures.
What is the name of volatile substance used in flavourings?
Ethanol is a common volatile substance used in flavorings and food extracts.
What happened to camphor when exposed to air?
When exposed to air, camphor will slowly sublimate, meaning it will transition from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase. This process is known as volatilization, and it causes the camphor to gradually evaporate and disperse into the surrounding environment.
Can camphor and NaCl be saparated by sublimation?
Yes, because camphor is very volatile.
Is camphor crystalline or amorphous?
Camphor is a crystalline substance.
How can you separate salt and camphor?
Camphor is a volatile solid i.e. its vapour pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure much below the melting point. But, common salt is non-volatile. Hence, camphor may be very easily separated from common salt by a physical process, SUBLIMATION! props to yahoo answers
Is camphor organic or inorganic?
Camphor is considered to be an organic compound. It is a naturally occurring substance derived from the wood of camphor trees or synthesized from the oil of turpentine.
How do you make camphor oil?
Camphor oil is typically made by steam distilling the wood of the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora). The process involves boiling the wood in water and collecting the steam that contains the volatile compounds of camphor. The steam is then cooled and condensed to extract the camphor oil.
What do you call a substance that evaporates easily?
A substance that evaporates easily is called volatile. Volatile substances have low boiling points and readily transition from a liquid to a gas at normal temperatures.
What is the name of volatile substance used in flavourings?
Ethanol is a common volatile substance used in flavorings and food extracts.
Is camphor a metal or nonmetal?
Camphor is a nonmetal. It is a white crystalline substance obtained from the wood of the camphor tree.
Why camphor sublimes?
Camphor is solid material ,that is sublimate.The bond of the camphor breaks when the specific temperature is given to the camphor which directly changes the state of camphor into liquid state it is all upon its ignition temperature. The proccess in which the solid state of matter gets converted into gaseous state without passing through the liquid state is called sublimation, and, the deposited crystalline material so obtained is called sublimate.
What is the effect of soluble volatile substance on the boiling point of a water solution?
A soluble volatile substance will lower the boiling point of a solution. The volatile substance will boil at a lower temperature than the water component, thus causing the solution to boil at a lower temperature.
What are the use of salicylic acid camphor and castor oil in the preparation of collodion?
they act as plasticizers, resulting in a flexible collodion after the more volatile solvents evaporate
