Sodium chloride (NaCl), in the form of rock salt, is used in the production of making ice cream to lower the freezing temperature of the ice water surrounding the ice cream mixer. The colder temperature allows the ice cream that comes in contact with the metal mixer to freeze solid.
Salt or sodium chloride is usually added and mixed with water to produce lower freezing point compared with just water. As the two are combined together, it absorbs more energy from the surrounding environment.
In the tub of an ice cream freezer, we pack crushed ice around the ice cream container. But only a few surfaces of ice are actually touching the container, and if we let the ice melt into water so that the water touches everything, it won't be cold enough to freeze the ice cream.
By adding salt - quite a bit of salt! - to the water, the ice melts at a lower temperature to form "brine", which will stay liquid and touch the entire container even though it's a lot colder than 32 degrees.
You also add ice. salt lowers the freezing point of the mixture so it freezes the ice cream more efficiently.
It lowers the freezing point of the ice water.
The motivation is to reduce the freezing point of the ice cream.
It lowers the temperature of the freezing solution
Putting Salt (sodium Chloride) to the homemade Ice Cream stops it from turning into a big chunk of frozen milk. It gives it its consistancy.

A sodium atom has 11 protons and electrons and a chlorine atom has 17 protons and electrons. When they combine, sodium loses an electron, and chlorine gains the electron sodium lost. Now, sodium has 10 electrons and 11 protons, making it positively charged. Chlorine on the other hand, now has 18 electrons and 17 protons, making it negatively charged. Sodium has a +1 charge, and chlorine has a -1 charge. Both charges cancel out, making it have no charge.
Table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) contain sodium and chlorine.
Sodium + Chlorine ---> Sodium Chloride I think that is correct
Sodium chloride has two atoms in the formula unit (NaCl): sodium and chlorine.
Sodium chlorine sodium and chlorine.
why are sodium and chlorine harmful
Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) are the elements that make up NaCl otherwise known as Sodium Chloride.
Chlorine is extracted from the salts. The most common salt is used for making chlorine is sea water. The sea water mostly consists Sodium chloride.
Chlorine is number 17 on the periodic table, so yes it is stable. It's a poisonous gas and it is NOT unreactive. The main thing that chlorine reacts with is sodium, making sodium chloride, A.K.A. table salt.
