Final answer:
In making a milkshake, a solid (ice cream) is converted into liquid form by blending it with another liquid (milk), demonstrating a transition from solid to liquid. The blended result is a suspension of small solid particles in liquid.
Step-by-step explanation:
While making a milkshake, you start by breaking down a solid (the ice cream), into a liquid form by blending it with another liquid (milk). Breaking down the solid ice cream involves an increase in energy in the form of heat from the blender; this is an example of a phase transition from solid to liquid. On the chemical level, the molecules that compose the ice cream are not being altered, but their energy states are changing, allowing the ice cream to transition from solid to liquid. The resulting milkshake is a smooth blend of solids and liquids, a suspension where small particles of a solid are dispersed throughout a liquid. Thus, you observe changes in the states of matter from solid to liquid in the process of making a milkshake.
