$\huge{\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{Answer :}}}}$

In our surroundings, we may observe many things changing their state.

In them, Camphor is one of the example which turns from solid to gas.

• Camphor disappears if we leave it in air for sometime
• Sublimation takes place here.

Sublimation :

• Changing of state from solid to gas directly is called sublimation.
• This change of state occurs due to variations in temperature, pressure etc..
• Particles of camphor turn into gaseous form and mixes with air.
• This is why camphor disappears.

Note :

• Camphor must be stored in an air tight container to avoid this.

Examples :

• Dry ice
• Moth balls
• Room fresheners
