AND KINETIC THEORY OF MATTER

 Heating naphthalene using water bath to

ensure an even heating process is carried
out
Cooling naphthalene by putting the boiling
tube inside a conical flask is to ensure an
even cooling process
Stirring the naphthalene continuously
during heating and cooling to ensure even
heating or cooling
Water bath is used because the melting
point of naphthalene is below 100 oC(the
maximum temperature that can be
attained by the water bath)
