When making ice cream does the salt added to the ice make the ice cream freeze?

Salt is already frozen ... it's a solid, which means the temperature in your kitchen
must be below the freezing point of the salt.
We looked up that temperature, and everything is clear now. Ordinary salt (NaCl) freezes
(or melts) at 1,474

As an aside it is also how 0 degree F was established. The temperature of the human body was set as 100 degrees F. Later measurements based on water's freezing point and boiling point were set to 0 degrees C and 100 degrees C and the Fahrenheit scale was adjusted to fit. Body temperature is now considered to be 98.6 d F.

When salt is added to ice the melting point is dropped, meaning that water and other things that freeze much be colder to freeze; this keeps the water that results in salty water at a colder temp--below the freezing point, so anything that is not salty that comes into contact with it freezes.

and become liquid.

Can ice cream be freeze dried and how?
Ice cream can be freeze dried. They sent this up in space with astronauts. You need to have or make a vacuum pump that turns the ice cream into a gas and dry it.
Sodium chloride is used to make freezing mixtures used by ice-cream vendors?
Sodium chloride is added to the ice to lower the freezing point of the ice. ... This allows time for the ice cream to freeze more evenly

How do you make ice cream out of liquid nitrogen?
By using sweet vanilla milk and then just making sure the liquid nitrogen doesn't freeze and then you just pour in the vanilla and VOILA! You have yourself some ice cream made out of liquid nitrogen.
Why is salt added to ice cream when your making homemade ice cream in an ice cream in a ice cream freezer?
You add salt to ice to lower the temperature of the ice/water mixture. Without the salt, the temperature would not fall below 32F, 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. 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.
Why is salt added to ice cream?
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.
Can you use whipped topping instead of whipped cream?
No, I am afraid not. To make ice cream you need to make an egg custard (milk + a little cream, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla). Then freeze that.
