Question

When you add cold milk and hot chocolate, they will slowly blend as the cooler liquid mixes with the warmer liquid. Eventually, the heat will be spread out evenly through the entire liquid. Which statement best explains why this happens?(1 point) Responses Heat always moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature. Heat always moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature. Cold liquids rise and hot liquids sink making the liquids mix. Cold liquids rise and hot liquids sink making the liquids mix. The liquids attract each other because the densities of the liquids are the same. The liquids attract each other because the densities of the liquids are the same. The molecules of the two liquids form chemical bonds to spread energy.

Answer 1

The statement that best explains why the cold milk and hot chocolate eventually blend and achieve an even temperature is: Heat always moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature.

This principle of heat transfer explains the process of mixing, where the heat from the hot chocolate transfers to the cooler milk, leading to a more uniform temperature throughout the mixture.
