What materials do you need for this science fair project why is salt put on icy sidewalks?

You would need ice and salt. These are also the materials that you would need in order to make ice cream using an ice cream machine.


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.


How is chlorine used in ice cream?

You can't eat chlorine in ice cream because you will be very VERY sick or you will die... Do not use chlorine in ice cream. It almost smells and tastes like bleach! My friend tried to put chlorine in her ice cream.... and when i was just about to say NO, I was too late... she pour on it and she said it tastes horrible... Then few days later she got sick. Never... EVER... put chlorine in ice cream. ---- Actually, chlorine is used in ice cream manufacture in the form of salt (sodium chloride). Salt may be added to ice cream as a stabilizer, and it is added to the ice used to freeze it. The salt causes the ice to melt faster and thus cool the ice cream faster.


Why should you use rock salt rather than regular table salt to make homemade ice cream?

Table salt has more artificial chemicals then natural rock salt. This really has nothing to do with it since the salt is never in contact with the ice cream. While rock salt is ideal, you can use table salt if needed. You can also make your own rock salt by heating some water, then dissolving as much salt in it as allowed. Heat the water until boiled. When the boiling water has become a saturated solution and cannot dissolve any more salt, remove the water from the stove and let it cool. As the water evaporates from the solution, the salt will form crystals. You can then crush the crystals, and you've got rock salt. It is usually preferable to use rock salt, because table salt is a finer grain. It dissolves quicker and effects the brine. The brine pulls heat from the batter. If the salt dissolves in the brine too quickly, it will drop the temperature of the batter too quickly. This will cause ice crystals to form in the ice cream, and a gritty texture may occur.

Can Epsom salt be used to make ice cream?

Ok, so no one else understands that you DON'T put the salt in the ice cream, but mix it with the ice to facilitate melting. As for the substitution, I don't actually know. You may want to do a test of how it works, or just use table or kosher salt if you have that.


Why is salt added to ice cream when your making home aid ice in an ice cream freezer?

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.


Can you make ice cream without a ice cream maker?

Yes you put the ingreadients inside a plastic bag then put that bag inside a bg with ice and salt in it. Toss the two bags around for a while until the contents of the first bag solidify. Take the first bag out of the second and, vwala! Ice cream.
