It is insoluble in water, somewhat soluble in ethanol, soluble in benzene, and very soluble in ether, chloroform, or carbon disulfide. Naphthalene is obtained from coal tar, a byproduct of the coking of coal.

Why is naphthalene more soluble in petroleum ether than in water?
naphthalene is non-polar and can only dissolve in non-polar solvents. ether is non-polar, water is polar.
How can we separate naphthalene from sand?
One way is to dissolve the ammonium chloride in water, then recover the ammonium chloride by evaporation; the naphthalene will not dissolve in water in any substantial quantity.
Why water bath is used to heat naphthalene?
To stop it from blowing up.
Do lipid mix with water?
No.they do not mix with water.
Does liquid naphthalene conduct electricity?
Naphthalene is a Ionic Substance. Hence, Ionic substance do not conduct when solid. But they do conduct when melted or dissolved in water - and they decompose at the same time. Therefor molten Naphthalene conduts electricity as the ions become free to move when dissolved in water.
What tool can be used to measure the naphthalene in water?
Gas Chromatography is an excellent technique for measuring naphthalene in water.
Is naphthalene soluble to ethyl alcohol?
Naphthalene is said to be somewhat soluble in ethyl alcohol (ethanol). It is insoluble in water and very soluble in ether, chloroform, or carbon disulfide.
Do naphthalene dissolves in water?
no
How do you account for the observed solubility of naphthalene and sodium chloride in water and ether based on the nature of the bonds that exist in them?
The reason why naphthalene can be dissolve in ether and not in water is because of their polarity. Naphthalene is a non-polar molecule. so it can only dissolve with a non-polar molecule.
What happens when naphthalene is added to water?
Naphtalene is not soluble in water.
What would be a good solvent at room temperature for naphthalene C10H8 Water ethanol or pentane?
pentane will be good solvent for naphthalene.
With the help of an experiment how will you separate a naphthalene ball and a mixture of naphthalene and sodium chloride?
To separate naphthalene balls from sodium chloride, simply add water until all the sodium chloride is dissolved. Then either filter, or just pour off the solution, and the naphthalene balls will be left behind. Naphthalene is very insoluble in water, and sodium chloride is very soluble in water.

Why is naphthalene more soluble in petroleum ether than in water?
naphthalene is non-polar and can only dissolve in non-polar solvents. ether is non-polar, water is polar.
Is naphthalene soluble in water or hexane?
Naphthalene is strictly non-polar with a structure similar to two benzene rings linked together. Similarly ether is also highly non-polar. Since like dissolves like naphthalene is soluble in ether.
How can we separate naphthalene from sand?
One way is to dissolve the ammonium chloride in water, then recover the ammonium chloride by evaporation; the naphthalene will not dissolve in water in any substantial quantity.
How can you separate a mixture of naphthalene and ammonium chloride?
One way is to slurry the solid mixture with water. The ammonium chloride will dissolve and the naphthalene will not. Ammonium chloride can then be recovered by evaporating the water solution of it that is formed.
