Question

Explain why camphor disappear without leavi ng any residue . gave answers solutions

Answer 1

camphor disappears without leaving any residue with the help of the process sublimation.
in this case the solid directly changes it state to gas and vise versa without changing in liquid state. This happens due to the heat energy (kinetic energy) which makes it to do so.
Hope this answer will help you!!!☺️

Answer 2

Camphor disappears after some time as its surface gains kinetic energy and directly gets converted into gas. The process of converting directly into gaseous form and not in a liquid state is termed as sublimation. Hence, when camphor is given fire, it gets converted into gas and disappears, without leaving any residue.
