I did this experiment in school and i need help with the scientific explanation. We had water in a flask and we made it really warm, up to 100 Celsius. We then turned off the fire and put on a cork. You had to flip the flask around and put ice on the bottom of the flask and then the water would suddenly boil. I found this on the internet and i think it sounds legit so i translated it and used it in my report. But i need to know if it's true or not so i'll post what it says here: The pressure dropped in the flask because the steam in the stoppered flask cooled. Turning the flask upside-down brought the steam into contact with the cooler part of the flask. As the steam cooled, water condensed from it leaving the remaining air in the flask at lower pressure. This enables the water to boil at a lower temperature. Reference www.physicsforums.com/threads/boiling-water-with-ice.388480/So now is it correct or not?

You know, I want to ask you - where is the question inside your post message? Because I can't see here any problem:
A-B. The pressure is the positive function of t of boiling; (considering D, the lower pressure the lower steam pressure, right?). ~B-~A. If a steam in a flask cools, then the pressure drop in the flask; C-~B. If the flask is rotating, then it causes to contact the water with cool places; (Water which touches cool places is getting cold). ~B-D. Decreasing of steam to cool causes ? (here's something not too clear; I can't stand it good) water which contact the air to be at the lower pressure; E. All above (A,B,C,D) causes to boil the water at a lower temperature (~B). So,
The facts:
- Water is boiled and there's no temperature gaining; (considering F) then the temperature in the flask starts to decreasing (~B). - The flask is rotated (C); - Ice is put to the flask (F); i.e. ~B and A.
Checking:
1. (C-~B)&(~B^A)&(~B-~A)-~B; 2. ~((~Cv~B)&~(Bv~A)&(BvA))v~B; 3. (~(~Cv~B)v~~(Bv~A)v~(BvA))v~B; 4. ((~~C^~~B)v(Bv~A)v(~B^~A))v~B; 5. ((C^B)v(~B^~A)vBv~A))v~B; 6. (Bv~B)v~B 7. Bv~B - the truth.
I can't be absolutely sure in my interpretation, because I do it fast and not accurate, but it seems to be correct at the glance.
P.S. I don't know whether you know the notation, so I explain it below:
a. "x-y" means "x implies y", or "if x, then y"; b. "x^y" means "the formula is true if and only if x and y are true"; c. "xvy" means "...is false if... x and y are false".
