  • Yes, ice at 0 degrees may turn into water and boil at "room temperature"; the main restriction being that one can only get a vacuum of the magnitude of an atmosphere; which in Imperial units is about 14.7 psi & in SI(metric) units is about 1 bar. It may be worth trying this experiment out under laboratory conditions.

  • Are there any items that are solid at room temperature that would become a liquid or gas under a, feasible at home, vacuum? I am no scientist, at least yet, so it has bothered me that I haven't been able to find the answer. I'm thinking something not absolutely fucking ridiculous, so something that I could actually test with that isn't grievously expensive, and at a vacuum of no less than .2 atmospheres. Thank you to anyone that answers!!! :)

  • I think the water just gets sucked in the vacuum...
