Question
- describe what happens to the particles in an ice cream mixture as it freezes.
When an ice - cream mixture freezes, the water molecules in the mixture slow down. As the temperature drops to the freezing point, the water molecules start to arrange themselves into a more ordered, crystalline structure. The other components such as fats, sugars, and flavorings become dispersed among the ice crystals. The movement of all particles in general decreases as they lose kinetic energy.
