Question

When mothballs (naphthalene), $$C_{10}H$$_{8}(s), sublime to the gas phase to form $$C_{10}H$$_{8}(g), how does heat interact with the surroundings, and is the process endothermic or exothermic?

Accepted Answer

Heat is absorbed from the surroundings and the process is endothermic.

Answer

Heat is released to the surroundings and the process is endothermic.

Answer

Heat is released to the surroundings and the process is exothermic.

Answer

Heat is absorbed from the surroundings and the process is exothermic.
