If you boil water long enough, all the water will evaporate. However, since you posted your question in the Homebrewing category, let's answer the question with that in mind. If you're making a 5-gallon batch, you can expect to lose at least a gallon during the 90-minute (or longer) boil. When I'm making five gallons, I don't actually boil the whole five gallons. I usually boil three to four gallons and then add enough sterilzed water after the boil to equal five gallons. This helps in the rapid cooling process, which is essential in causing the "cold break," an important step in beer making.
Well, there is no difference in terms of the act of "boiling," but there is a grammatical difference. Saying "bring it to the boil" is unnecessary. There is no need for using the definite article "the" for "boil". Merely say or write "bring to boil" or "boil." These are good enough.

You don't have to boil it because of the chlorine . You should use 4 drops per quart of water , or 8 drops per 2 liter bottle. Chlorine OR boiling. Not both. Boil (roiling rapid boil) for 1 minute (3 minutes if over 1 mile altitude). Chlorine isn't a health hazard at this concentration (I believe it breaks down into a salt long term), but if you are concerned, you can allow it to "air out" before drinking.
A blind boil is a boil which suppurates imperfectly, or fails to come to a head.
