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.

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.


Did salt and sugar affect the boiling temperature of water exactly the same?

yes, but i couldn't tell you the mechanics of it.


Does higher boiling point evaporate faster?

Evaporation and boiling are the same process, liquid water is converted to water vapour. To convert from liquid to gas the water molecules have to absorb heat. The rapidly the heat is supplied, the faster the liquid water changes to a gas. In evaporation this heat comes from the air the water is exposed to, the surface the water sits on and the heat already in the water (hot water cools as it evaporates). This process is relatively slow compared to boiling water where a lot of heat is being put into the system by the stove or hot plate. It takes the same amount of heat to boil or evaporate the same amount of water. Boiling provides this heat much more quickly. Therefore boiling water evaporates much more quickly.


Is the boiling point of water on a kelvin scale equal to the boiling point of water on the celsius scale?

No, the boiling point of water on the Kelvin scale is 373.15 K, while on the Celsius scale it is 100°C. These two values are equivalent as they represent the same physical phenomenon, just on different temperature scales.


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.)

Will rainwater and sea water boil at the same temperature?

No, rainwater and seawater will not boil at the same temperature. Seawater has a higher boiling point than rainwater due to the presence of dissolved salts and minerals, which raise the boiling point of the water.


Is rainwater the same as distilled water?

No, rainwater is not the same as distilled water. Rainwater is collected from the atmosphere and may contain impurities, while distilled water is created through a process of boiling and condensation to remove impurities.


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.


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 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.


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.


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.
