no it cannot but if the temperature is slightly increased over 6 C it will evaporate at a slow rate.

Is high or low pressure cold?
If you mean to ask if cold bodies of water are associated with high or low atmospheric pressure, they aren't. Atmospheric pressure can change independently of the temperature of bodies of water.
Why does the vapour pressure of water contribute to the total pressure in the bottle?
by equalizing water levels you can assume that the gas you isolated in the chamber is at atmospheric pressure
Why does water boil at a lower temperature on a mountain than sea level?
The boiling of any liquid is tied in to the atmospheric pressure, in an open system. Every liquid has it's own vapor pressure, that is the balance between the vapor and liquid phase. When atmospheric pressure decreases, the vapor pressure increases since now there is greater space for the molecules of the liquid to come into vapor phase. At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lesser, that is, the air is thinner. Thus the liquid can attain higher vapor pressure faster and boil at a lower temperature.
What C does water boil under normal atmospheric pressure?
100 Celsius
How do you think boiling of water will change on sea level as compared to boiling water on a mountain top?
I think that the temperature required to boil water is lower at high altitudes (where the atmospheric pressure is lower) than at sea level.
State and explain how the boiling point of water will change if the atmospheric pressure falls?
Water boils when its internal pressure reaches that of the atmospheric pressure. Therefor, if one lowers the atmospheric pressure, the water would boil at a lower temperature (in fact, one can make water boil at room temperature by dramatically lowering the atmospheric pressure).
Is high or low pressure cold?
If you mean to ask if cold bodies of water are associated with high or low atmospheric pressure, they aren't. Atmospheric pressure can change independently of the temperature of bodies of water.
When will liquid water change to a vapor?
When it reaches its boiling point. At ordinary atmospheric pressure, this is 100°C
How are atmospheric pressure and water pressure different?
lalalal
What happens when pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to pure water or a solution?
If a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to a solution or pure water, its water potential increases
Why does water boil when the vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure?
Because while atmospheric pressure is the greater of the two the vapour pressure of the water can not spontaneously form bubbles (ie boil).
What is cause of atmospheric pressure?
Just as water pressure is caused by the weight of water, atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air. Pg. 126 Conceptual Physical Science 4th Edition.
What are the different types of pressure feet?
water for example.absolute pressure; gauge pressure; atmospheric pressure
Where water boils first in lower pressure or high atmospheric pressure?
in Lower pressure water does not have to get as hot to boil
What is potential pressure?
the pressure of water measured relative to the atmospheric pressure at the same elevation.
Why is it different at 5000 feet to boil water?
The atmospheric pressure is lower. When you are boiling the water, the water's vapour saturation pressure is able to match the atmospheric pressure faster therefore it boils faster and at a lower temperature.
Why would water boil at less than 100 degrees on top of a mountain?
The boiling point of any liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure. So if the atmospheric pressure is lower, it will take a lower temperature to make the vapor pressure equal to that of atmospheric pressure. At hill-stations, the air is generally thinner due to the altitude and the atmospheric pressure is also lower. Here, it requires less than 100oC temperature to reach the point where the vapor pressure of water reaches that of air. So, water boils below 100oC at hill stations.
