Naphthalene is an aromatic organic compound commonly known as the active ingredient in moth balls. To measure the density of naphthalene one must use non-polar solvents. Because of its non-polar nature it is most insoluble in water. Solvents that can be used to determine density includes benzene and chloroform.
