The correct answer is: Yes, the boiling point of water is higher than the melting point of salt.
Salt (sodium chloride) has a melting point of about 801 degrees Celsius (1474 degrees Fahrenheit), while the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at standard atmospheric pressure. Therefore, you cannot melt salt in boiling water because the temperature of boiling water is far lower than the melting point of salt. Instead, when salt is added to boiling water, it dissolves rather than melts.
