Water can be obtained from various sources. Are all these samples of water chemically identical?
Short Answer

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.
