Becuase it just does is that a Prob than if it is get a better answer
The salt absorbs the water and dries up the snow
It helps because the temperature of the salt can stop the ice cream from melting
The world may never know.

Adding salt to ice lowers its melting point and so lowers the temperature of around the ice-cream making container to near -16 deg C.
You add salt to ice to lower the temperature of the ice/water mixture. Without the salt, the temperature would not fall below 32.F, which is not cold enough to make ice cream. The freezing point of salt water is below that temperature and thus allows the cream to partially freeze, a necessary part of making ice cream Salt causes water to freeze at a much lower temperature. Adding salt to the ice causes the temperature of the brine solution to drop dramatically, while freezing the ice cream inside the container.
You don't use rock salt in ice cream, unless you want salty ice cream. You use rock salt (though table salt or sea salt would work just about as well) in the freezer to get it colder than you could with a mixture of ice and water.
Rock salt is used because it causes the ice in the bucket to melt, but at the same time to be cold enough to freeze the ice cream inside of the canister. I am of course talking about the hand churned ice cream. If you didn't use salt, you would not be able to turn the canister to churn the ice cream mixture into a freezable substance.
Salt acts as an antifreeze, reducing the melting/freezing point of the ice. This makes the salt & ice freezing mixture much colder than that of ordinary ice, causing the ice cream to freeze faster and with smaller crystals. An ice cream with smaller crystals feels smoother and creamier in the mouth.I use a compressor ice cream maker, which requires no salt & ice mixture as it has a built in electric powered freezer.
No. But ice and water with table salt dissolved in it, can.The salt lowers the freezing temperature of the water, so that it can remainliquid even when it's below 32° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius). In that condition,it can be used to cool the can in which the ice cream ingredients are mixed, andcan freeze it faster than solid normal ice could.
Don't know but it sounds nummy
because salt makes the ice colder allowing the ice cream to freeze faster!
Salt lowers the freezing point of ice so when the temp. outside is lower then 32 degrees, the ice will still melt. When making ice cream, when the temp. is lowered, the energy given off is transfered to the ice cream making it freeze.
salt makes the substance cold and for ice cream that is crucial
"The salt makes the ice melt. the melting of ice requires input of heat and this 'sucks' the heat out of the ice cream mixture causing that to freeze." You are correct. The salt lowers the freezing point of saltwater-ice mixture causing melting of the ice. Melting of ice is a process that absorbs heat due to the heat of fusion (80 cal/g of melting ice). Thermal energy is transferred from warmer (ice cream) to colder substance (ice/saltwater mixture). In this instance, heat is lost from the ice cream and transferred to the colder ice/salt-water mixture, allowing ice cream to freeze.
Table salt and rock salt are sodium chloride - NaCl.

Why would you? I mean it's so disgusting! Only a weirdo would do that! It probably taste bitter and not so sweet. My advise DON'T DO IT!! :( A pinch of salt in anything sweet makes it taste better. You don't taste the salt. But in the case of ice cream, salt is sprinkled over the ice in an old fashion ice cream freezer to make the ice colder and make the ice cream freeze faster. I can't explain how salt makes the ice colder but it does.

Adding salt to the ice causes the temperature of the brine solution to drop dramatically, while freezing the ice cream inside the container. As the ice melts, the "heat" of the ice mass is preserved by lowering the temperature. (It's called "latent heat") It takes approximately 80 calories of energy to melt a gram of ice. That latent heat principle is used to lower the temperature of melting ice, thereby allowing the ice cream to freeze. It's an example of simple physics and is described in most physics books and physics classes.
