I realize this is probably pretty basic, but it has me stumped:
An open test tube containing water is immersed in a heat bath of boiling water. The water in the test tube does not boil. Why?
Would this be because the water in the test tube is at a temperature where it two phases (liquid and vapor) co-exist?
