What kind of change is chocolate melting?

Answer 1

The chocolate undergoes a state change from solid to liquid as its temperature exceeds the freezing point of the chocolate. Chocolate molecules are liberated into the air. When the molten chocolate is transferred to a food item, or to a mold, a heat transfer from the chocolate to the item it was placed on or in takes place, followed by a state change from liquid to solid as the temperature of the chocolate is reduced below its freezing point. When the chocolate is placed in the mouth of a chocolate eater, acetylcholine and cholinesterase transmitted along the nerves leading from the taste buds to the brain signal to the brain that something tasty has been consumed. This leads to release of various biochemical transmitters that signal satisfaction, unless you buy really cheap chocolate and then these same transmitters will signal, "what the hell were you thinking, the good stuff was only a buck more!" Some people who melt chocolate experience temporary enlargement of the bank account since chocolate, properly melted and formed into salable products, is a valuable and desirable item of commerce. Caution must be exercised since excessive melting of chocolate can lead to increased mass in the chocolate melter. A gooey amazingness that can go on pretty much anything edible. Or an oozing, flowing, melted, liquid gold that you can eat. Look up "tempering chocolate." Check Related Links for a cool website, if you are interested in chemistry or experiments with chocolate.

Answer 2

The solids in the chocolate (primarialy the fats, milks, and sugars) will melt and turn into a liquid. This causes the chocolate to become a smoother and more liquid consistency, too. At this point, it can be manipulated many ways until it cools and harden or firms up again.

Answer 3

Chocolate can have many different effects on people. as every ones body is different it is hard to estimate who will have which side effect. Chocolate is a well known aphrodisiac because it takes over receptors in the brain that correlate with the feelings of romance and love. This is why some people have sensual feelings while they are eating chocolate. Some people can also be allergic to chocolate. The effects of the Allergies differ with each person. The usual is a skin rash and an upset stomach or change of behaviour. Dark Chocolate is very healthy for you because it contains antioxidants that promote good health. It is just as good as drinking a glass of red wine or eating blueberrries. Eating too much chocolate however can make a person feel sick and it can cause obesity.

Answer 4

Melting chocolate is meant to do just that. It is solid chocolate that will easily melt (is usually comes in the form of chips, disks, or medallions to be able to melt easier and faster) and it then can be used for decorations, enrobing, designs, and other chocolate purposes.

Answer 5

Everything melts. It has to do with the tension the molecules have between each other. When things heat up, the molecules start moving more and faster until they are moving so fast that they can't stick together. Put a thin layer of glue on each ball and they will stick together in one big group. Adding heat is like shaking all the balls individually at the same time. As more heat is added the balls shake more and more until the glue breaks loose and they can flow like a liquid, add more heat and they will get even farther apart and that is what is a vapor.

Different chocolates will melt at different temperatures because they have different amounts of each ingredient. Different ingredients have different attractions between similar and dissimilar molecules.

Answer 6

When you melt a chocolate bar, the chocolate bar will turn into a thick liquid or slimy solid. If you go about melting it in a double boiler or even a single pot, you will get a liquid.

Answer 7

It becomes fudge.

Answer 8

chemical change

Answer 9
