The only way to make water boil hotter is to decrease to a lover altitude. if you already at sea level there is pretty much no real solution save for superheating, which require special conditions and usually end up in people getting burnt.

Adding salt technically helps, however the amount you add to cook food will increase the water boiling temperature by less than 0.5C, and you need to add massive quantities (water becomes unedible/undrinkable) to see any real effect.

How can you separate a mixture of alchohol and water?

Distillation! Water and alcohol have different boiling points; one is lower than the other. Heat the mixture up until it one of the two boils away. In the case of alcohol and water, alcohol has the lower boiling point. Heat the mixture to just above the boiling point of alcohol but below the boiling point of water and voila!- you've separated the mixture.

What is the difference between the process of boiling and evaporation of water?

Boiling is a greatly expedited form of evaporation. When you heat something to its boiling point, it has enough energy for its molecules to rapidly escape. Evaporation is a much slower action, generally. It is just molecules at the surface gaining enough energy to escape. Both evaporation and boiling are endothermic processes. They will cool what ever the molecules are escaping from.


Can you evaporate sea water without boiling?
