When you boil water, the water loses oxygen. Does this affect the chemical makeup of the water?

Or, is the oxygen that is expelled through boiling simply oxygen dissolved in the water

boiling water does not break the chemical bonds between hydrogen and oxygen. it simply causes a change in phase from liquid to vapor.

boiling water does expel dissolved gasses such as air (which is 21% oxygen).

Boiled H2O is still H2O as is the steam produced. Boiling simply expels dissolved air.

The water is still H2O, same as before. It loses the dissolved oxygen/

Boiling water does not make it lose its oxygen. It just causes a change of state from liquid to gas.

If water was subjected to something that DID make it lose its oxygen, yes it would change the chemical. eg in Electrolysis (or hydrolysis) you wind up with 2 H2O -> 2H2 + O2

it would help in case you published the link to the video and quoted the proper words in quotations marks you're refering to. undergo in innovations the perspectives of one person would not unavoidably signify the Jehovah's Witnesses as an entire - please seek for suggestion from our genuine website in case you will like the above. My very own awareness however isn't that that easy actuality on my own renders chemical evolution impossible yet that a discounted atmospher poses specific issues for people who have confidence the aspects for the 1st cells have been shaped in the ambience of early earth and drifted into the sea ... in short devoid of oxygen in the ambience the 1st animo acids would have been wiped out by technique of cosmic rays and the water that should have provided secure practices would have additionally been the dying nell for further progression because of the fact the presence of water favors depolymerization (breakdown of cellular formation). i do no longer think of the element would have been approximately large Oxidation journey, (whilst or the way it handed off), which for the main area is irrelevent (despite if thrilling) , however the a lot "less difficult" question of ways the 1st cellular shaped in in the two an oxygen loose OR an oxygen rich surroundings. that's similar to putting forward that despite if the guy replaced into beheaded or drowned he would be the two lifeless the two way. .
