  • Naphthalene Dissolving in Ethanol: Physical Process Explained
    The dissolving of naphthalene in ethanol is a physical process, not a chemical reaction. This means no new substances are formed, and there is no chemical change.

    Therefore, there is no balanced chemical equation for naphthalene dissolving in ethanol. Instead, we can represent it with the following notation:

    Naphthalene (s) + Ethanol (l) → Naphthalene (sol) in Ethanol

    Where:

    * (s) denotes solid state

    * (l) denotes liquid state

    * (sol) denotes dissolved state

    This notation simply indicates that solid naphthalene is dissolved in liquid ethanol to form a solution of naphthalene in ethanol.
