No, salt will increase boilingpoint of water depending on concentration. This is an colligative property like 'lowering freezing point' by salt dissolution also is.

Why does hot water boils faster than cold water?

Hot water boils faster than cold water because it is closer in temperature to the boiling point. The boiling point of water is 100oC. If we had hot water at 90oC and cold water at 20oC, then the hot one would reach the boiling point of 100oC faster, since it only has 10oC more to go adn less heat needs to be added.ummm... hot water and hot water boil at the same rate...

Why does salt water boil faster than freshwater?

The salty water will reach a lower boiling point than the tap water because when you add salt into water in diffuses and makes the waters boiling point lower because the properties of the water have changed. salt water will boil just a couple of second faster than tap water, but its just an old wives tale that you can speed up the boiling points of water by 5 mins, etc.
