No.

Boiling can kill off biological stuff, parasites, bacteria, things like that.

But it can't do anything about about chemicals. In cases of organic or inorganic chemicals with high boiling points the boiling may concentrate the contaminants.

Which took more time heating the water from room temperature to boiling point or boiling all the water away?

Why is boiling the safest method to purify water?

With any chemical water purification methods some few pathogens may survive in the water. Boiling will kill all the pathogens. One thing that water purification chemicals or boiling cannot do is remove any toxic chemicals that may have gotten into the water, such as medications, illegal drugs, caffeine, or toxic chemicals from a chemical plant. If you want to purify water by boiling, or any other means, be sure to filter it first of any larger particles that may float in it.


Is the boiling point of water the same under all conditions?

The boiling point of water is not always the same. It depends on water ingredients (e.g presence of salts), pressure on water, and other factors.


Is Water turns into gas when the temperature reaches boiling is true?

Yes, that is partially true. While water is being heated, once its temperature reaches boiling, the water will remain at boiling until all of the water boils away. So, Yes, it does turn to gas, but, No, it doesn't turn to gas all at once. Prior to reaching boiling, the water would have been evaporating at a slower rate. The only thing magical about the boiling point is that is the temperature where the pressure of the evaporating water equals atmospheric pressure.


Does boiling point of water slow down with salt?

no. it does not any impurity in water and other all substances rises its boiling point and slows down its melting point . So salt will raise the boiling point of water rather than lowering it

When boiling water will it remove all the contaminants?

To ensure all contaminates are removed, the water must be distilled by boiling, the water vapour led off, and then condensed back into water into a clean vessel.

How do you remove sodium hydroxide from water?

No, you can't do this, because ALL sodium salts are soluble in water. However you can remove water from sodium hydroxide solution by evaporation (boiling to dry).


Can all water be healthy?

No. Water can sometimes contain harmful and even deadly contaminants.


What purpose is served when a test is done using water instead of a sample substance?

Distilled water is has virtually all of its impurities removed. Distillation involves boiling the water and then condensing the steam into a clean container, leaving most if not all solid contaminants behind. If you do not want the impurities in the water to affect the outcome of the test you need to use pure water.

When boiling water in Kettle and it becomes steam why do you say the water boiled when not all the water became steam?

When they say boiling water they mean some water is turning to steam but not all off the water has to be over 100 degrees for some to be boiling.

Can boiling points of liquids be altered by pressure?

yes they can like water if you remove all the pressure form a vial and have water in it the water will boil at room temp. while if you add pressure to water it is harder to boil.
