About this document
Mothballs and the Sublimation Process by Honeylene Opon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes an experiment on sublimation using mothballs. Mothballs made of naphthalene sublimate due to their weak intermolecular forces. During sublimation, the solid naphthalene is heated and converts directly to vapor without passing through the liquid state. Crushing the mothballs increases the surface area and accelerates the sublimation process. Temperature also affects the rate of sublimation, with higher temperatures causing faster sublimation. The mass is conserved during sublimation ac
