Water can be boiled in a syringe if the pressure in the syringe
is lowered.
Boiling is the point at which the vapor pressure of the liquid
is
equal to the surrounding pressure. Therefore, if the pressure
inside
the syringe is lowered to the same as the vapor pressure of
the
liquid, boiling is observed.
