In the case of mothballs evaporating, the solute is the chemical compound, typically naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, that makes up the mothballs. The solvent is the surrounding air, which allows the solute to disperse as it vaporizes. As mothballs evaporate, the solid solute transitions into gas form, diffusing into the air and creating a characteristic odor.
