Sorry, I should've read the forum rules more carefully and been more specific.
It's a question that showed up as a 'thinking point' in my textbook, and I couldn't figure it out.
I guessed that it would be, in practice, dangerous, but what would happen to the liquid (for example, water) as it rises in temperature in a sealed container (assuming that the container doesn't melt, explode, etc.)? Will it eventually boil and completely turn into vapor?
I got confused because I thought that you needed a closed vessel for the vapor to exert vapor pressure, and the textbook said that boiling happens in an open container.
Thank you!
