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.
Yes, salt water will take longer to boil than fresh water because the presence of salt increases the boiling point of the water. This happens because the salt disrupts the process of water molecules turning into steam, requiring more energy to reach the boiling point.
Adding salt to boiling water will actually make the water boil slower. Salt increases the boiling point of water by raising its boiling point temperature. As a result, it will take longer for the water to reach the new, higher boiling point temperature and thus boil.
Adding a salt to a substance changes its boiling and freezing points, but it lowers its freezing point and raises its boiling point. So, salt water actually takes more heat to boil because the salt has raised the boiling point.
Yes and no. See the following website for information of why: http://www.swri.org/10light/water.htm If you came to this posting in the past, please note that the previous writer had no idea what he was talking about. Read the SWRI site for an actual scientific answer.
Yes, adding salt to water can slightly increase its boiling point, but it won't make the water boil significantly faster. The main purpose of adding salt to water when cooking is to enhance flavor, not to speed up the boiling process.
Water with salt will actually take longer than water without salt to evaporate. This is due to boiling point elevation. If you put a solute into water, it will make it more difficult to boil, and therefore will boil at a higher temperature. Since it takes longer for the salt water to boil, it will take longer for it to evaporate as well
Adding salt to water actually increases its boiling point, so it will take longer for saltwater to boil compared to plain water. It is not recommended to add salt solely to make the water boil faster.
The boiling point is increased after adding impurities to water.
Salt (or anything dissolved into water) will increase the boiling point of water. It will take longer to come to a boil. Salt reduces the vapor pressure of the water and so requires a higher energy level to boil.
Don't add salt. Salt raises the boiling point of water, making it take longer.

If your question means: If salt is added to water will it take longer to boil using the same conditions to boil fresh water? Adding salt elevates the boiling point of water so the mass of water has to be heated to a higher temperature to boil, therefore, boiling time is increased.
When salt is added to water, it increases the boiling point of the water, requiring it to reach a higher temperature to boil. This is because the salt disrupts the formation of water vapor molecules, which slows down the boiling process.
Boil the water (and condense it if you want to keep it) and the salt will be left behind
