Can water boil at room temperature?

For water molecules to escape from a liquid and become a gas they have to overcome atmospheric pressure. Ordinarily, that means that you have to heat the water up to 100 degrees Celsius, where its internal (vapor) pressure becomes 1 Atm. However if the atmospheric pressure is lowered (like in a vacuum jar) the water can boil at a much lower temperature.

spl is right
make sure you read the description, and water boiling is not going to be the same temp everywhere because all its doing is turning into a gas. (the description says it in detail

its not boiling, the vaccum is just taking the air out of the water... nice try though.
