Question

Why is camphor preferred as solvent in finding molecular mass of naphthalene?

Answer 1

Dear Student

 

Camphor  has a molecular lowering  of  39.7”  and  has the  advantages  of  ease of  purification and great  solvent  powers.  It  is very  fluid  in  the  liquid  state and crystallizes  readily  without  supercooling.  

 

We hope that clarifies your query.
