The boiling point of pure water is lower than the boiling point of a water-salt solution, so it takes takes longer to heat the water-salt solution to its boiling point.

What temperature does salt water boil at?
Depends on how much and what salt, but definitely higher than pure water.
Steps to see if adding salt to water change the temperature at which it boils?
To test if adding salt to water increases the boiling point of the water, do the following: boil a sample of pure water until it boils. Measure the temperature at which the pure water boils. Take another sample of pure water and add salt to it, then boil this sample under the same conditions. Measure the temperature at which the salt water boils. If the latter temperature is higher, salt does increase the boiling point of water.
Is salt water less dence then pure water?
no it contains salt making it denser
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.

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.
Does water boil faster if it contains salt?
Salty water boils at a higher temperature than pure water does.

Why does salt take longer to boil than water?
Surprisingly, water with a high salt content boils faster than pure water. Salt water may have a higher boiling point than freshwater, but because it takes less energy to increase the temperature of salt water (due to the salt requiring very little energy to heat) the salt water boils faster.
Does pure water boil faster with salt added?
I don't know, but that would be a really good experimate to try.
How do you convert salt water into pure by visually?
Desalination of water is not a visual process. It is usually done by some form of distillation. You evaporate or boil the water away, leaving the salt behind.
A way to show that sea water is not a pure substance?
Boil it. The water will evaporate, leaving salt at the bottom of the pot, which did not evaporate and was left behind.
If pure water has a density of one gram per milliliter why does an egg sink in it but float in salt water?
That indicates that the average density of an egg is greater than the density of pure water but less than that of salt water. Salt water has more density the regular/pure water and the more salt you add the more it floats.
