Put it in a beaker. Use a smaller beaker filled half way with ice and water and place in the larger one. It should be about an inch or two above the mixture. Heat over a Bunsen burner and the naphthalene will deposit on the bottom of smaller beaker.
And in this way, nephthalene be separated from the mixture of KBR and sand.
The reasonable ground-state electron configuration is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 4d8
The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum.
It's somewhat slower in any material substance, and different in
each substance.
(That's 186,282.4 miles per second.)
