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.

The liquids attract each other because the densities of the liquids are the same.

Cold liquids rise and hot liquids sink making the liquids mix.
Cold liquids rise and hot liquids sink making the liquids mix.

The molecules of the two liquids form chemical bonds to spread energy.

Answer 1

The best statement that explains why cold milk and hot chocolate will blend as they mix is:

Heat always moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature.

This statement accurately describes the principle of heat transfer, where thermal energy flows from warmer areas to cooler areas until equilibrium is reached, leading to an even temperature throughout the mixture.
