what's the point of SALT in making Ice Cream

In this fun ice cream experiment we explore how salt allows the ice cream to freeze. Learn some basics of how energy flows and how water has its state altered based on salt and energy flow.

First time I watched the video, I couldn't grasp the concept of "energy" in the whiteboard diagram at all. But then while rewatching, I substituted the word "energy" for "heat" everywhere you said it and it immediately clicked and made it extremely easy to understand. I guess it's because that was the term we used in my thermodynamics class back when I was in uni.

It's cool to see how salt affects ice and water, this is why I love my Chemistry Teacher.

[noellefleming]

That’s really cool, literally! I didn’t think the salt would freeze the condensation on the outside, that was awesome!

[abhishekkumar-kgrm]

man, this is the best explanation I have ever seen..thank you so much, you are a great teacher.

[dirkdiggler]

This is good information for the next time I run out of ice cubes, I can freeze water in minutes and make ice cubes with it for my soda.

Really really nice video!! I have been trying to understand this concept for a long time, and as soon as i watched your video, I grasped upon it so easily. Thanks a lot!!❤ I wish you were our science teacher in school. Your channel deserves so much more attention. And your way of explaining is great!!

[lancealldrin]

Awesome experiment! You're a natural at this type of presentation, keep it up!

Summer is in (Philippines)
I wannna make an ice cream and i don't understand why some add some salt. . .and your videos explained it well. .
THANK YOU..

If only a third jar (so ice cream salt could be in one jar and table salt in the other) was included in the experiment, this would have been the only video needed for anyone wondering 😊

[Ajay-hbrc]

Loved the video! Super straight forwards and great representation of all the variables. I'm just a bit confused on the whole chemistry part of the experiment haha

[gyanibabaofficial]

You explained it better than "the action lab"

[victoriaogunro]

this is amazing thank you. however WHY is the new water giving energy to the ice?

[phuphuphu]

your channel is underrated. good explane. keep it upp !!

[niconnor]

So it’s the water that gets to -8 does the ice stay warmer? I am having a hard time understanding the total energy. It seems like energy has to be leaving the system to get a lower temp overall. Like, 0c ice and 18c salt have the energy they have and we express that as temp. I get that it the energy flows from high to low, it just seems like the salt somehow makes a a lower low that existed before, but where did that energy go, the net energy is the same as it was when you combined everything right? So if something got colder, doesn’t something else need to get hotter?

I am High School Student and i read this concept from hell lots of books but was not able to understand the reason for this, you really explained it well, thank you very muck sir !!

[urhuzaifa]

I subscribed your channel after watching thia video just because you're so energetic and active.
I liked your energy very much ❤😅

[agilana]

Wow nice this experiment I am going to present in science expo thank you

[ashwanichauhan]

Really clear explainations.carry on making videos like these whose clear explanations are not present here. 👍

What kind of salt did you use
Is it table salt . kosher salt or rock salt

[listomoto]

Can you put the bucket with ice and salt in the freezer
