Yes, an ice and salt mixture is an example of energy transfer. When salt is added to ice, it lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt. This process absorbs heat energy from the surrounding environment, resulting in a decrease in temperature. Consequently, the energy transfer leads to the cooling effect observed in the mixture.
A mixture. There are two definite phases
It is because when you put in table salt, actually any salt, the ice absorbs the salt's energy and that is what make the ice colder than it was.
You add it to the ice used for cooling the mixture. It makes it colder. You don't want salt in what you eat!
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.
Kulfi sellers use a mixture of ice and common salt as a freezing mixture because the salt lowers the freezing point of ice, allowing the temperature to drop below 0°C. This creates a colder environment that helps freeze the kulfi more quickly and efficiently. The combination enhances the cooling effect, ensuring that the kulfi achieves a creamy texture without becoming too hard. Additionally, the use of this mixture is cost-effective and easy to source.
You can make ice cream using salt by creating a salt and ice mixture in a container, placing a smaller container with the ice cream ingredients inside the salt and ice mixture, and then shaking or stirring the mixture until the ice cream forms. The salt lowers the freezing point of the ice, allowing the mixture to become cold enough to freeze the ice cream ingredients.
Salted ice does not stay longer. Salted ice melts sooner than ice alone because the mixture of salt and water lowers the freezing point of water. So the salt-ice mixture will melt at temperatures where pure ice would freeze. The only way that a salt-ice mixture would stay longer is if the temperature is so low that it has reached the freezing point of the salt-ice mixture.
To make ice cream using rock salt, you can create a salt and ice mixture in a larger container, place a smaller container with the ice cream mixture inside the larger container, and then shake or stir the mixture until the ice cream forms. The rock salt lowers the freezing point of the ice, allowing the ice cream to freeze.
"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.
If there is no salt or substance that makes it impure it is a pure mixture
A mixture. There are two definite phases
A mixture. There are two definite phases
The salt-ice mixture melts faster because the mixture's melting point is lower than that of pure ice, which is characteristic of a mixture. So the mixture causes the ice to melt at lower temperatures than 0 oC or 32 oF.
When water comes into contact with ice, it transfers energy by releasing heat to the colder ice. This heat transfer causes the ice to absorb energy and start melting, eventually turning into liquid water.
It is because when you put in table salt, actually any salt, the ice absorbs the salt's energy and that is what make the ice colder than it was.
Rock salt is cheapest, table salt works just as good. These will cool the salt and ice to about 10F. There are other salts that will get the salt and ice mixture colder, but they are generally more expensive and harder to get in quantity. If you want to experiment (and will be very very careful never to accidentally contaminate the ice cream mixture) you could test some of the "Ice Melter" products used on sidewalks in winter, some of these should cool the salt and ice somewhat below 0F. But these could be toxic!
Ice cream makers that consist of a container enclosed in a larger bucket of chunks of ice include salt with that ice because the salt lowers the temperature of the entire mixture. The salt causes the ice to melt, creating a drop in the temperature of the resulting icy salt water.
