Solution

Yes, provided the samples are pure, they are chemically identical because every water molecule has the same composition: two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Their hydrogen-to-oxygen mass ratio is always 1:8. Unpurified samples may contain different dissolved impurities and therefore differ chemically.
