Salt water boils at a higher temperature than fresh water.
If a substance (salt) has a lower vapour pressure than the liquid (water) (it's relatively non-volatile in other words) then dissolving that substance in the liquid, common salt (NaCl) in water (H2O), for instance, will lower the overall vapour pressure of the resulting solution compared with the pure liquid. A lower vapour pressure means that the solution has to be heated more than the pure liquid to make its molecules vaporise. It is an effect of the dilution of the solvent in the presence of a solute.

How do I convert salt water into fresh water?
boil it
Does salt water boil faster than fresh water?
Yes salt water does boil faster than fresh water. To be honest, if you put any kind of seasoning in a warming pot, it sparks a reaction.
Does salt water boil fast?
Salt water boils HOTTER, not necessarily faster.
Will salt water boil or will regular water boil?
salt water will boil. also will freshwaer
Will it take longer to boil salt water than fresh water?
Yes. The boiling point of salt water is higher than the boiling point of pure water.
Which boil fast water with sugar or water with salt?
Salt water.

Salt water boils HOTTER, not necessarily faster.
How are scientists turning salt water into fresh water?
they boil water then collect the steam in different ways
Is it true if you boil saltwater it becomes fresh water?
The water would evaporate, leaving the salt behind.
Will salt water boil or will regular water boil?
salt water will boil. also will freshwaer
Will it take longer to boil salt water than fresh water?
Yes. The boiling point of salt water is higher than the boiling point of pure water.
Does salt increase boiling time?
If your question means: If salt is added to water will it take longer to boil using the same conditions to boil fresh water? Adding salt elevates the boiling point of water so the mass of water has to be heated to a higher temperature to boil, therefore, boiling time is increased.
If you boil salt water does it become fresh water?
Actually, yes If you boil saltwater about 212 degrees, the salt rises up and turns in non tasteable, seeable, or feelable. so it practally evaporates.
Should salt be added to water to make it boil fast or leave it out?
Don't add salt. Salt raises the boiling point of water, making it take longer.
Can you get pure water from salt water?
Yes, you can distill the salt water (boil it) and collect the steam, the condensed stream will be pure water. You can also squeeze salt water through a semi permeable membrane (as in a desalination plant) and get fresh water.
