The answer depends primarily on the scale that you are using.
On the Celsius (or Centigrade) scale, under normal atmospheric pressure, pure water boils at 100 deg.

Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at sea level under normal atmospheric pressure.
Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level.
At 100 degrees Celsius, water is in its liquid state.
The more salt in the water the higher its boiling point. Ocean water would boil at a temperature above 100 oC. 212 oF but its exact boiling point could be between 115 oC to 120 oC. It depends on the amount of salt.
Any substance which is liquid at that temperature. Liquids evaporate at any temperature. If you mean boiling, which happens at a fixed temperature at fixed pressure, then nitric acid fits.
When water changes from 80°C to 120°C, it transitions from being very hot but still liquid to reaching its boiling point and turning into steam. At 100°C, water boils and changes state from liquid to gas. So, by increasing the temperature from 80°C to 120°C, you are essentially bringing the water to its boiling point, causing it to evaporate into steam.
