I am looking for some information about how high a vacuum is needed to
boil 100% ortho phosphoric acid at room temperature. I know from my
own experience that it does not boil at 90C at 1e-3 mbar but someone
asked me it they could increase the vacuum to 1e-6 mbar at room temp
and still not have acid moving around. Thanks in advance for help with
this weird question. If I don't hear anything I guess I will just have
to experiment! Jason
