It depends on the amount of heat, the salinity of the water, the surface area of the container, and the altitude.

For canning purposes, using a non-glass top range, 6-8 cups of water can take 5 to 10 minutes (for steam canning), while 4 gallons takes about 30 minutes (for water bath canning).

That depends on what energy source is being used to heat it, the intensity of that source, the starting temperature of the water, the shape of the container the water is in. The surface area of the water, the water's exposure to the atmosphere, how oxygenated the water is...
