No. 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.

What does the boiling of salt water compare to the boiling point of fresh water?
The boiling point of salt water is higher than that of fresh water because the presence of salt increases the boiling point of a solution. Salt water requires more energy to come to a boil compared to fresh water at the same atmospheric pressure.
Is the boiling point of water at Durban and Johannesburg the same?
The boiling point of water is the same at any given elevation, so it would be the same in both Durban and Johannesburg. However, because Durban is at a lower elevation than Johannesburg, the boiling point of water would be slightly lower in Durban compared to Johannesburg.
Is boiling point is always same as the melting point?
No, the boiling point and the melting point are not always the same. The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, while the melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.
Is the boiling point of one liter of water different from the boiling of 2 liters of water?
No, the boiling point of water remains the same regardless of the amount of water being heated. At sea level, water boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). The only difference between boiling 1 liter and 2 liters of water is the amount of time it takes to reach the boiling point.
Is the evaporation temperature always the same as the boiling point?
Liquids are constantly evaporating but it's only at the boiling point that all the particles have enough energy to go from liquid to gas. e.g. Water molecules can evaporate off of wet clothes at a temperature other than 100 Degrees Celsius.
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.
What is the boiling point of saliva and how does it compare to the boiling point of water?
The boiling point of saliva is around 212 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the same as the boiling point of water.
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.
Do ocean water and lake water have the same boiling point?
yes
What does the boiling of salt water compare to the boiling point of fresh water?
The boiling point of salt water is higher than that of fresh water because the presence of salt increases the boiling point of a solution. Salt water requires more energy to come to a boil compared to fresh water at the same atmospheric pressure.
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.
Would the boiling point of distilled water and hard water be the same?
Obviously not.
Is the boiling point of water at Durban and Johannesburg the same?
The boiling point of water is the same at any given elevation, so it would be the same in both Durban and Johannesburg. However, because Durban is at a lower elevation than Johannesburg, the boiling point of water would be slightly lower in Durban compared to Johannesburg.
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 is always same as the melting point?
No, the boiling point and the melting point are not always the same. The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, while the melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.
Which is a better solvent for boiling point elevation ethanol or water?
Ethanol is a better solvent for boiling point elevation compared to water. This is because ethanol has a higher boiling point than water. When a solute is added to ethanol, it will raise the boiling point of the solution more significantly than if the same solute were added to water.
Is the boiling point of one liter of water different from the boiling of 2 liters of water?
No, the boiling point of water remains the same regardless of the amount of water being heated. At sea level, water boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). The only difference between boiling 1 liter and 2 liters of water is the amount of time it takes to reach the boiling point.
