I can't believe I got the chemical reaction one wrong. Is the breaking of hydrogen bonds not a chemical reaction? I'm confused.

Boiling water doesn't break haydrogen bonds. Boiling water is a physical reaction, not a chemical one. You simply add thermal energy to the mass of water.

Boiling the water does not change the water molecules themselves in any way, thus it does not qualify as a chemical reaction.

Sorry for the simple explanation, I'd be able to give a much better one in German. In English my terminology is a bit lacking^^

Hydrogen bond is "Wasserstoffbrückenbindung":
