No. Sea water has a higher boiling point than rain water. Sea water contains a higher concentration of dissolved solutes than rain water, which is fresh water. The higher concentration of dissolved solutes in sea water causes it to have a higher boiling point.

What is the condensation point of water at sea level?

The condensation point of water is the same as the boiling point of water. This occurs at 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius.


What temperature does water freeze in Celsius?

Zero degrees Celsius. The Celsius temperature scale was defined with zero as the freezing point of water, and 100 as the boiling point of water. (That's for pure fresh water at sea-level atmospheric pressure. Adding impurities to the water will change the freezing and boiling temperatures, and different air pressures will change the boiling temperature of water.)


Are melting and boiling points of a substance the same?

The melting and boiling points of a substance (in this case I am assuming you are referring to a pure substance, and not a mixture), are the same. The triple point is defined by the temperature and pressure at which solid, liquid, and vapor of a substance, can coexist in equilibrium. At any pressure below the triple point, only sublimation and condensation are possible (no liquid phase is possible). Between the triple point pressure and the critical point pressure, there is a difference between the melting and boiling points, of a substance. The melting point temperature will be lower than the boiling point. At the critical point, the densities of the liquid and vapor phases, have merged, and boiling no longer occurs. At and above the critical point, you cease to get liquid and vapor, but you get what is referred to as a "supercritical fluid".


What is the boiling point of water in degrees Celsius?

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees C, but only at sea level, or in other words, at an atmospheric pressure of 1013.2 millibars. As the altitude increases (or the pressure decreases, same thing), the boiling point goes down. This happens at the rate of about 1 degree C for every thousand feet of altitude gained or for every 35 millibars of pressure lost. The boiling point of pure water is 100 0C at 760 mm col. Hg. ((101.325 kPa of atmospheric pressure). This is not a coincidence. The Celsius scale was originally defined around the boiling and freezing points of water.


Why does sugar raise boiling point?

Sugar increases the boiling waters temperature because it is an impurity. Impurities are dissolving molecules. Another example of an impurity is salt, although salt has a much greater affect on boiling water than sugar does. Impurities will increase water's boiling point because they are able to dilute the concentration/ solution of the water. In other words: the amount of water molecules will decrease and so will the amount of molecules that are able to vaporize at the specific temperature. This causes the need for a higher temperature in order to gain the same amount of vapor pressure, thus raising the boiling point.

Is the boiling point of l liter of water and 2 liters of water the same or different?

It takes longer to boil, but it's the same boiling point.


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.


Do ocean water and lake water have the same boiling point?

yes


What has the same sterilizing efficiency as boiling water?

Would the boiling point of distilled water and hard water be the same?

Obviously not.


Is the boiling point the same property for table salt and table sugar?

Yes; the boiling point is the same for table salt and table sugar. The boiling point of the water will increase by the same amount based on the number of particles of solute in the solution.


Is boiling point higher than melting point?

they are the same... dont know who wrote this but it can be the same such as dry ice, or different such as water. however boiling point will sometimes be higher than melting point


Is the boiling point the same as the melting point?

No, boiling point is not the same as melting point. Boiling point is the point at which a liquid begins to become a gas. (Water begins to become water vapor at about 212 degrees fahrenheit, or 100 celsius) Melting point is the point at which a sold begins to become a solid. (Ice begins to become water at about 32 degrees fahrenheit, or 0 degrees celsius)


What is the temperature when the gas turns into a liquid?

This would be known as its boiling point because it is at the same point as when a liquid turns into a gas. Each substance has a different boiling point, for example, water's boiling point is 100oc.


What is condensing point of water?

75c 146 fcondensation point of water would be the same its boiling point, which is 100 celsius.(like how melting point and freezing point of water)


When boiling water does heated water get hotter than ambient temp water?

Under the same conditions (in particular, at the same surrounding atmospheric pressure), all water at its boiling point will be at the same temperature regardless of its starting temperature.


What are some things that are true about boiling points?

The boiling point of 2 m KF in water is 102.4ºC. The boiling point of a 0.5 m aqueous solution of LiOH is the same as the boiling point of a 0.5 m aqueous solution of LiCl.
