If you leave a cup of hot chocolate sitting on a table what eventually happens to the temperature? Does the temperature ever reach a thermal equilibrium?

Ah , a cup of hot chocolate is alot of chocolate. Im gonna drool ; )

Well , heat flows from an area of high temperature to an area of low temperature. Here , hot chocolate has the high temp , and the surrounding has a room temp. So , the heat from the hot chocolate will dissipate into the surroundings and create a thermal equilibrium. So youre right.
