Why do mothballs disappear slowly EXPLAIN?

Why do the mothballs in a clothes closet gradually disappear over time?
That is how they work: the insecticidal balls are made of para-dichlorobenzene (PDB, C6H4Cl2), an aromatic which will turn to vapor (sublime) at room temperature. The chemical is also used in urinal deodorizing cakes. Previously, mothballs had been made from the related chemical naphthalene, which has been identified as likely to be carcinogenic in humans.
Why mothballs disappear quickly?
Mothballs are usually a solid substance called dichlorobenzene, which sublimates directly into a gas. It has no liquid state. So, it doesn't make a mess, which makes it desirable to have around clothes. However, the gas it produces, while being fatal to moths, is not that good for humans either; it's a neurotoxin. So don't hang out in your closet for too long.
What do mothballs kill?
Mothballs are typically used to repel and deter moths and other insects, rather than actively kill them. The chemicals in mothballs, such as naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, release fumes that are toxic to insects and can interfere with their respiration and nervous system, leading them to avoid the area where the mothballs are placed.
Is there liquid mothballs?
Yes, liquid mothballs do exist. They are typically sold as a moth repellent solution that can be sprayed or applied directly to fabrics and other surfaces to deter moths and other insects. Liquid mothballs may contain similar active ingredients as solid mothballs but in a different formulation.

Why do mothballs disappear at room temperature?
Mothballs contain chemicals that slowly turn from a solid into a gas at room temperature, a process called sublimation. As the chemicals vaporize, the mothballs shrink in size and eventually disappear as the gas dissipates into the air.
Mothballs disappear over time is it a chemical change?
No, mothballs disappearing over time is a physical change, not a chemical change. The mothballs are still the same substance, just dispersed or evaporated into the air.
Are mothballs legally sold?

Why do mothball disappear after a few weeks?
Mothballs contain a volatile chemical, typically naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, which sublimates, turning from solid to gas. Over time, the concentration of these chemicals decreases as they evaporate into the air, leading to the mothballs disappearing. Additionally, environmental factors like temperature and airflow can accelerate this process. As the chemicals dissipate, their effectiveness in repelling pests diminishes.
