It depends on the liquid. Different liquids boil at different temperature. This is the reason we put coolant in the car's radiator as opposed to water. Coolant boils at a higher temperature. Liquid nitrogen boils at a very low temperature. Somewhere close to room temperature or less. Again, it all depends on the liquid.
The reverse is also true. Different liquids freeze at different temperatures.

I depends on the liquid!
For example, water boils at 100 °C, whereas mercury boils at 357 °C and oxygen boils at 182.95 °C.
The boiling point of a liquid determines whether it's a liquid or a gas at room temperature since all liquids become gases above their boiling point. Substances with a boiling point below room temperature are liquid (like water and mercury), but substances with a boiling point above room temperature are gas (like oxygen).
You can find info on all elements boiling points on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by_boiling_point

The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas.

It's different for all liquids, and will be equal to the condensation point. Water's boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius, 373 Kelvins, or 212 degrees Fahrenheit

It's the temperature at which it can change its state from a liquid to a gas throughout the bulk of the liquid at a given pressure.
In other words, when it turns into a gas very fast. More info on the link below:

depends water boils at 100 degrees but others relative to their density boil at different points a boiling point is where you will see bubbles burning vigorously in your liquid

It depends on the liquid.
If you know what it is search on www.chemfinder.com and it will tell you the standard boiling point.

boiling point is a specific character 4 each liquid, it differs from one to another, it depend on whether the liquid form hydrogen bond or not, also depend on its density

The temperature at which the vapor pressure of the solution equals atmospheric pressure. Thus, boiling point can vary based on atmospheric conditions, primarily due to altitude.

It depends on the liquid they are all different- water is 100 degrees celsius, 212 degrees farenheight
