The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the surrounding atmospheric pressure.
Supercooling water and snap freezing
Can water remain liquid below its normal freezing point? If it does, that water is supercool (-ed). This project shows you a method for supercooling water.
Hot Water Freezing?
A brief discussion (with a slightly disbelieving tone) of why hot water freezes faster than cold water. Links to a related section on the Mpemba Effect.
