During the cooling of the naphthalene the boiling tube must be placed in a conical flask in order to prevent the super cooling occur and allow the even cooling of the naphthalene.

Explanation:

  • When heated at 80 °C, naphthalene rapidly sublimes directly from a solid into a gas, eventually leaving nothing remaining in the crucible.
  • On cool surfaces, the gaseous naphthalene will re-solidify to form needle-like crystals. Naphthalene is a combustible solid. It may also be transported in a “molten” or heated form.
  • The vapor given off when Naphthalene is heated is flammable and a dangerous fire hazard. Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam as extinguishing agents.
  • Naphthalene is made from crude oil or coal tar. It is also produced when things burn, so naphthalene is found in cigarette smoke, car exhaust, and smoke from forest fires.
  • It is used as an insecticide and pest repellent.
