Answer:

The distilled water will be boiled faster as it does not contain any non - volatile solute.

- The salty water contains different non - volatile salts in it.

- Due to the presence of these salts, its vapour pressure will be decreased and boiling point will be elevated.

- So, salty water will take more time to boil.

- On the other hand, distilled water does not have any such solute and due to this its vapour pressure will not be affected.

- Hence, it will boil fast than salty water.
