Better is Acetic acid

Water itself is also fine. In space what ocurres with water? Does it freeze or evaporate?

The vacuum would cause it to evaporate, but since the higher energy molecules escape first it would freeze and then sublimate to nothing

Depends on temperature and pressure. This diagram doesn't go that low, but I would guess it's a solid in the near vacuum of space based on what I know of space ice like Saturns rings and comet tails.

Yes, Water itself has a pretty weird freezing diagram, but meltin diagrams are already weird, even in metals as I remeber this from Iron, iron carbid. Melting always depends on several factors, pressure, depending of added substances...

That's just the tip an apple. Don't you dare try to tell me otherwise.
