The only way to 'place' water on a hot burner is when it is a solid (ice), or as a container of liquid water

Naturally, the hot burner would melt it into a liquid and rapidly boid it away into water vapor (gas)

Why doesn't cold water make a hot burner cold?

Heat is a form of energy and due to the principal of thermodynamic equilibrium, will constantly seek a state of equilibrium. The reason a hot burner does not become cold is because as the energy is transferred to the cold water more energy is being put into the burner through either electricity or gas. If there was no source of energy to the burner, then the cold water would cool down the hot burner, though the cold water would also heat up in the process, to the point where both are at room temperature.

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...
