Does water boil faster with dissolved solids?

No, water does not boil faster with dissolved solids. In fact, the presence of dissolved solids increases the boiling point of water, a phenomenon known as boiling point elevation. This means that water with dissolved solids will require a higher temperature to reach its boiling point compared to pure water. Therefore, the boiling process may take longer when solids are present.
