NO!!!!
It depends on the gas pressure above the water's surface.
The fact that it is given at 100 oC is for STP.
If you try to boil water at the top of Mount Everest (29,000 ft) you will find it boils at a much lower temperature.

∙ 15y agoNo. Though water boils at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit, it does so at sea level. But up a mountain where the air pressure is lower, water will boil at a lower temperature. We don't want to beat this up, but when we specify the boiling point of water, it is understood to be at "standard pressure" so there is no confusion. Standard pressure per IUPAC is an absolute pressure of 100 kPa, or 14.504 psi. It's a bit more per NIST. Because of the lower boiling point of water, cooking at high altitudes is an art; things cook differently. Anyone with some experience in the kitchen has seen a few recipes corrected for altitude. Pasta, rice and the like take a bit longer to cook at altitude because the boiling water isn't as hot as the boiling water at sea level. It's that lower pressure thing at work. If you were cooking in, say, Denver, Colorado, you'd notice a difference. Denver has the Mile-High City for a nickname because it's official elevation is 5280 feet. If you've never seen the demonstration showing warm water boiling when the container it is placed in has the air pumped out of it to lower the pressure, you need to check it out. YouTube has vids, and a link to one of them is below.

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 the freezing point of silly putty?
The freezing point of Silly Putty is the same as water, 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The boiling point is also the same as water, 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is boiling point is always same as the melting point?
NO!!! Boiling point is the temperature when a liquid changes to a gas. Melting point is the temperature when a solid changes to a liquid. Remember For rising temperatures It melts then boils For falling temperatures It condenses then freezes. Melting/Freezing point is the same temperature for change of state solid/liquid Boiling/Condensing point is the same temperature for change of state liquid/gas
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 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.
The freezing point and boiling point for matter is a constant Explain this meaning of constant?
It means that the freezing or melting points do not change, that they are always the same, depending on the type of matter. For eg. the melting point or freezing point of water is 0○ Celsius and the boiling point is always 100○C.
Do ocean water and lake water have the same boiling point?
yes
What has the same sterilizing efficiency as boiling water?
it removes bad bacteria by heating the water and reaching it to boiling point
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.

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.
