Liquids have free and fast moving particles. Liquids do not take a specific shape unless they are enclosed such as in a bottle. Anyway, since they are free flowing when they freeze, their movement becomes very slow. Eventually the particles will not have room to move as they used to and will be held in one place. The particles are still moving but they are only shaking or vibrating in the same place. You can't even tell this movement is happening, and that is what happens when liquid freezes.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

1)If I mixed salt in water I would expect the salt to: dissolve.

2) If I mixed starch in water I would expect the starch to: remain undissolved.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since salt, which is commonly known as sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound, it is very likely to get dissolved in water, therefore, we would expect the salt to dissolve and form a liquid solution.

Moreover, since start is mainly composed by C-C, C-O and C-H bonds which are nonpolar, it we can say it is usually insoluble in water, therefore we will expect starch to remain undissolved but undergoing a process called gelatinization in which a suspension in formed until a slightly solid consistency.

Best regards.
