Does salt water boil faster than fresh water?
No, salt water boils slower than fresh water because the presence of salt increases the boiling point of the water. This means that salt water requires higher temperatures to reach the boiling point compared to fresh water.
What happens when a marine clam is put in fresh water?
Salt water animals (save for the few that actually can live in either salt water or fresh water) can not survive in fresh water because their cells are isotonic to the salt water, but they would be highly hypertonic to the fresh water.That is to say, the concentration of salt within the organism's cells would be equal to the concentration of salt in the salt water, but would be far higher than the concentration of salt in the fresh water, and thus osmosis would be triggered, and the cells would "lyce" (when a cell lyces, it means it bursts due to an overabundant amount of water being forced into the cell)
Why is salt water brackish?
Salt water and brackish water are different in terms how the amount of salt. You can say salt water is brackish, since brackish water and salt water both contain salt.

Why can't a saltwater fish live in freshwater?
If the salt water fish were to be put in fresh water then their high salt content inside their bodies (to prevent too much salt diffusing into their bodies) will have it diffusing out down the concentration gradient; killing them. If the fresh water fish were to be put in salt water then their low salt content inside their bodies (to prevent too much salt diffusing out of their bodies) will have it diffusing in again down the concentration gradient; killing them.
