Boiling water with ice

This is a vapor pressure experiment, the jar was sealed while the water was boiling on a hot plate, so the steam displaced all the air out of the jar. After sealing, the jar was quickly removed fro...

This is a jar full of only water (liquid and vapor). It boils at any temperature when you apply something cold enough to the top, like ice.

I put water in a jar and sealed it while it was boiling, and now it boils at any temperature. Super fun demo to try.

    Yes definitely. The pressure will drop along the vapor pressure curve all the way to the triple point, gently boiling all the way if you remove the heat from the vapor and not directly from the water.
