SCORPION-xisa [38]

Evaporation occurred between the reaction of the hydrochloric acid and the arsenic group because there is a formation of gas. A liquid is cooled if condensation exceeds evaporation. This is because the cooling of the liquid decreases the kinetic energy of the molecules. Their movement is being restricted by the colder temperature. The molecules tend to be closer with each other. Also, because of their restricted movement, the liquid may turn into solid due the colder temperature. An example of this is the cooling of liquid water by placing it into the refrigerator into solid water (ice).
