The idea that water boils at 100C and freezes at 0C, without
some mention of pressure, has little meaning. Water can "boil"

Since, by your own admission, the boiling and freezing point
temperatures of water are pressure dependent, I invite you to state
what pressure would be required to be exerted on a volume of liquid
water in order to cause it to boil at 0°C.


Good one, John!
