It does, if you take an ice cube and dip it in ice and let it sit on foil (or wax paper) it melts slowly. I tested this on regular ice cube and salt covered ice cube. The salt overed one melted about a minute less than the regular one.. Try it out!

∙ 13y agoAdding salt rises the temperature to more than 100 degrees because of the added energy needed for the added impurities. It would have to take more heat to break the molecular bond of liquid to turn it to gas.
This also applies when adding salt to melt ice. While many may think otherwise, including salt in the melting process will slow it down. At 0 degrees, ice starts to melt, loosing its solid shape to liquid form. The presence of salt, adds to the molecular structure, creating more kinetic bonds, hence requiring more energy for the change of form, hence taking more time to melt.
Adding salt to water has various benefits such as producing taster pasta. However, putting salt in water does not make it boil faster, and by theory, will be much slower to boil. But considering the amount of salt added, the difference in time is hardly noticeable. Unless you plan to create the ocean in your kitchen, the amount of time it takes to boil water with salt in it hardly makes a difference. So in conclusion, no, water does not boil faster when you put salt in it.

∙ 11y agoNeither, they keep the same speed.
When a normal solid melts, and ice is as normal as anything else, the liquid portion grows and the solid portion shrinks, but the temperature remains the same. Since temperature is proportional to the kinetic energy of the particles in the system, the particles in the liquid portion and particles in the solid portion have the same temperature ans the same kinetic energy and hence the sames speed,
As more heat is applied and the melting is complete, temperature rises and kinetic energy of the molecules starts increasing again.

How does salt effect the egg?
Salt will make the salt taste salty and boil faster if making boiled eggs.
How much salt do you put in to make the water boil faster?
Adding salt to water will make it take longer for the water to boil. You should wait until the water is already boiling to add salt.
Does salt added to water make the water heat up faster than water without salt added and if both are heated to a boil?
NO Normal water boils faster because salt (sodium chloride) breaks up very slowly and since its salt water. The salt binds itself with the molecules of the water therefore increasing the boiling point, hence making it slower to boil. In comparison to normal water, salt water takes longer to boil than normal water.
Does salt water boil faster than water with pepper?
Yes
How does adding salt to water effect how it boils?
Raises the temperature at which the water boilsAdding salt does not make the water boil faster, but makes the water boil at a higher temperature than 100 degrees Celsius. This may allow you to cook food in that water faster than in plain boiling water.
How can liquid evaporate faster?
Heat it faster. I'm not sure which, but Salt either makes it boil/evaporate faster or slower...
When salt is added to boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius will the water boil faster or slower?
Slower, at higher temperature that is.
Does salt water make Lima beans grow faster or slower?
Salt water make Lima beans grow slower
Does salt make snow melt slower?
No, it makes it melt faster.
How does salt effect the egg?
Salt will make the salt taste salty and boil faster if making boiled eggs.
Does salt makes water boils faster?
No it does'nt!It makes it go slower. by alshacore

Will ice melt faster or slower when salt is added?
Slower
Does salt water freeze faster or slower than fresh water?
Salt water is slower.
What is the function of salt when making pasta?
yes the salt raises the temperature to boil faster
Does more salt make water boil faster?
Short answer: no, it actually makes it boil slower. Dissolving salt to water lowers its melting point and raises its boiling point by an amount proportionate to moles of salt over kilograms of water. Adding 1.00 pound of salt to 1.00 kg of water raises its boiling point by 7.95 degrees C or 14.3 degrees F
