Yes, you can make water boil at a higher temperature by increasing the pressure. This is commonly done in pressure cookers, where the sealed environment raises the boiling point of water above the standard 100°C (212°F) at sea level. Additionally, adding certain solutes, like salt, can also raise the boiling point, but this effect is relatively minor compared to pressure changes.
Adding salt to boiling water will actually make the water boil slower. Salt increases the boiling point of water by raising its boiling point temperature. As a result, it will take longer for the water to reach the new, higher boiling point temperature and thus boil.
Water boils when the vapor pressure due to the temperature of the water is equal to the pressure outside. The air pressure on mountains is slightly less because there is less atmosphere above you, so water boils at a lower temperature (only by a few degrees, though) at higher altitudes. Because of this, you need to boil food at higher altitudes longer to compensate and make sure it is cooked as much as if you boiled the same food at a higher temperature at a lower altitude for a shorter amount of time.
Its ok as long as you let the water cool to room temperature before adding the water back to the bowl, or adding the betta to the water. Also, it is completely unnesseary to boil before putting in your betta's bowl.
Boil a lot of sea water.
Boiling Points for Water at Standard Pressure:100 degrees C (Celsius or Centigrade)373.15 K (Kelvin)212 degrees F (Fahrenheit)At standard pressure (the pressure of the earth's atmosphere at sea level), water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.(The same temperature as 212 degrees Fahrenheit and 373.15 Kelvin.)At lower atmospheric pressure (e.g. at higher altitudes), water will boil at a lower temperature.If under higher pressure (e.g. inside a pressure cooker), it will take higher temperature than 100 degrees Celsius to make water boil.
Adding salt to boiling water will actually make the water boil slower. Salt increases the boiling point of water by raising its boiling point temperature. As a result, it will take longer for the water to reach the new, higher boiling point temperature and thus boil.
Raises the temperature at which the water boilsAdding salt does not make the water boil faster, but makes the water boil at a higher temperature than 100 degrees Celsius. This may allow you to cook food in that water faster than in plain boiling water.
The salt will make the rice taste better. It is true that the salt will make the water boil at a slightly higher temperature but the difference is very small.
Sea Salt makes water harder (higher boiling point) to boil. The only way to make water boil faster is to get EVERYTHING (all dissolved and undissolved) out of the way of the escaping water molecules and crank up the temperature (give em the "HOT-FOOT!)!
Covering water can make it boil faster because it traps the heat and prevents it from escaping, increasing the temperature of the water more quickly.
It has to be 212 or better to boil so at least that much.
Covering the pot can make water boil faster because it traps heat and prevents it from escaping, which increases the temperature of the water more quickly.

Water with salt will actually take longer than water without salt to evaporate. This is due to boiling point elevation. If you put a solute into water, it will make it more difficult to boil, and therefore will boil at a higher temperature. Since it takes longer for the salt water to boil, it will take longer for it to evaporate as well
Boiling water with the lid on will make it boil faster because it traps the heat and steam, increasing the temperature inside the pot.
By increasing the pressure on the water, you can raise its boiling point above 100°C. This can be achieved in a pressure cooker, where the increased pressure allows the water to reach a higher temperature before boiling.
Putting salt in water raises the boiling point of the water. Because the water boils at a higher temperature, the water will reach a higher temperature before converting to steam. So the vegetables cook faster and more evenly because the temperature of the water is higher.
