What will happen if solid is mixed in liquid?
It depends entirely upon the solid and the liquid.If you put a group 1 metal such as potassium into water you get a purple fireball, an explosion, hydrogen gas and potassium hydroxide.If you put potassium in oil nothing happens.If you put talc into water you get a suspension.If you put a salt into water you get an aqueous solution.Some things will react, others will not.

When you put potassium in water?
Potassium reacts violently with water to form POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE(KOH)and hydrogen gas K+H2O---------- KOH+H2 The H2 catches fire due to the heat of the reaction which in turn ignites potassium .potassium burn's with a crimson flame.
