@cazzueyEvaporation is a cooling process, so while the liquid may start at room temperature, as it "boils", it will lose heat and will get colder and colder... so the hotplate is used to keep it "warm"

 

I see, very interesting @KennethT. Also, is an average flask strong enough to make this experiment safe from risk of implosion?

Hey all, was browsing the web and wanted to try this out. Just don't quite understand why you have the hotplate? Is the vacuum not strong enough?
