Which outcome occurs when applying vacuum to water?

💡 Explanation

Applying vacuum lowers the ambient pressure, causing boiling via a first-order phase transition to occur at a much reduced temperature. The mechanism for this is Vaporization, because the equilibrium vapor pressure is exceeded; therefore boiling occurs, rather than remaining in a liquid phase.
