"boiling" is a fairly precise term that means that the vapor pressure
of the liquid is at least as great as the atmospheric pressure.
That requires rather high temperatures for electrolyte.
That doesn't seem to be happening.
So, is the water boiling or dissociating?

I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her.

the supermarket.

They've worked for me, although I wouldn't try withdrawing electrolyte
with one.
