Answered by DrBob222
During the sublimation process of what? Please be a little more specific and tell us what is going on. We don't have radar on these screens.
Answered by Whitney
sublimation of naphthalene
Answered by DrBob222
You must provide a cool surface onto which the vapors of naphthalene can condense. I assume you placed ice in a watch glass or a beaker and placed that over the naphthalene vapors. And the naphthalene vapors condensed on the bottom cool surface. If I have assumed something wrong let me know.
