You are talking nonsense

A lightbulb contains a vacuum yet the filament burns. Place an amalgam
with
a circuit to heat it to 70 degrees in a vacuum. What is the vapor
pressure?

Or take an amalgam at room temperature by itself and somehow place it
in a vacuum where the vacuum is coated in such a way which does not
allow any radiation to escape (a vacuum in a black box). What is the
vapor pressure and temperature of the amalgam in the vacuum as a
funtion of time?
