Yes. Several people have accidentally died falling in Yellowstones hot springs where temperatures range from 150F to 205F. The boiling point of water in Yellowstone park is 198F. Boiling water will create third degree burns, blind you, and peel the skin off of your body.

Does larger mass of water have different boiling temperature?
No. A large mass of water will have the same boiling point as a smaller mass of water. Differences in pressure, however, will cause differences in boiling point. - - - - - It takes longer to boil a large amount of water than a small amount because it takes longer to heat it up.
Will water boil faster if there is less of it?
A small amount of water will reach it's boiling point sooner than a large amount of water. It will not boil faster.
Why does a frozen car windscreen crack when boiling water is poured on it?
melted
Is there a natural weed killer safe for well water areas?
Boiling water poured directly on the plant.
Why does glass break when boiling tea is poured in it very fast?
Some glasses break when you pour boiling water in it. To avoid that make sure you read a label that comes with that glass saying it can withstand boiling water or not.
When large amount of water is poured into the sink with the garbage disposal where the dishwasher drains would a one way valve help with water backing up into the dishwasher?
The pump in the dishwasher should keep the water from getting into it.
Would adding salt to water change its boiling point?
Yes, but only sightly. It takes a large amount of salt to even increase the boiling point by 4° F (2° C).
How much time does salt take to dissolve in hard boiled water?
Every 100 grams (100 millilitres) of boiling water (even hard water) will dissolve a maximum of about 40 grams of salt, so anything in excess of that amount just will not dissolve. If your poured a teaspoon of salt grains into a pan of boiling water it would dissolve immediately - almost no time at all.
If boiling water was poured into a china cup and a foam cup which cup would feel hotter explain?
china cup
Is the boiling point of one liter of water different from the boiling of 2 liters of water?
No, boiling point is not affected by volume. What will change is the amount of energy you need to put in to get it to boiling point.
Why Water is poured to extinguish burning wood?
The water takes heat in the form of latent heat at its boiling point to convert into vapour. this puts the fire down.
Can water be desalinized via boiling?
Yes and no. Boiling the salty water will not remove the salt, but if the water vapour given off by the boiling is then condensed back to liquid water by cooling it and collecting it in another container, very pure liquid water will be obtained. This is called the process of "distillation" and produces "distilled water". The process of distillation is expensive because of the large amount of heat needed to boil the water.
