(Disclaimer - I sell an anti-tarnish product - Gleam)
You really do not want the chlorinated hydrocarbons in or around you clarinet case, camphor either unless you have a pest problem. Silver tarnish is caused by a reaction with sulphur producing the black silver sulfide compound. Chalk won't work either at reducing tarnish. You really should stick with what the silver people recommend which is activated carbon such as the 3 M strips which are 60 lb paper with activated charcoal slurry dried on the surface which is good in a clarinet case for about 1 month with opening and closing or several months sealed up tight. Newer chemical scrubbing compounds (e.g. in Gleam) remove sulfur and a few other nasty compounds which react with silver ions and are more long lasting than activated carbon but in total it is the mass of the anti-tarnish agent that determines longevity.
