first of all you need to know the mineral content of both fresh water and sea water lets start with sea water at the atom level there is chlorine 55.3% sodium 30.8% magnesium 3.7% sulfur 2.6% calcium 1.2% potassium 1.1% and then there are trace elements of maganese / lead / gold / iron / iodine. and trace gases of roddium / argon / helium / lithium / nitrogen / oxygen /carbon dioxide / hydrogen. also keep in mind the pollutants that get added by the washoff of all the rivers and under water volcanos. so with that in mind now what is found in fresh water well there is more iron. and sense the cleaner the water (less elements) it would take a less temp. to make the atoms respond less break down to reach its boiling point where as sea water is more complex containing (more elements) thus more atoms to respond. I hope this was some what helpfull to you Brilliantpebble.

Why does plain water boil faster then salt water?

A liquid boils when the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure. The presence of salt in the water reduces the vapor pressure of the water at the temperature at which plain or distilled water will boil. Since the temperature of the salt water must be higher to reach the same vapor pressure as the atmosphere, it takes longer to boil.


Why does beer boil at a lower temperature than tap water?

Beer boil at a higher temperature than tap water because contain many solutes.


Is it possible for distilled water in liquid form reach a temperature of 105 degrees Celsius. why or why not?

No, distilled water cannot exceed a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure because it will boil and turn into steam. Temperatures above this point indicate the water is transitioning from a liquid to a gaseous state.


Will rainwater and sea water boil at the same temperature?

No, rainwater and seawater will not boil at the same temperature. Seawater has a higher boiling point than rainwater due to the presence of dissolved salts and minerals, which raise the boiling point of the water.

Does water boil faster if it contains salt?

Salty water boils at a higher temperature than pure water does.


When salt is added to boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius will the water boil faster or slower?

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.


Why is the temperature of the boiling water higher than the temperature of an ordinary top water?

When you boil water, the velocity of moving molecules in water gets increased so as the intermolecular energy of water. For that the temperature of hot water is higher then normal or cold water.


How can you make distilled water at home?

To make distilled water at home, you can boil water in a pot and collect the steam in a clean container. As the steam cools, it will condense back into pure distilled water.
