Acetone will not make Styrofoam hard. Putting Styrofoam in acetone will dissolve how to do it is easy. Place a bit of acetone into a bowl then put in the Styrofoam in the bowl and it will dissolve away.
Both styrofoam and acetone are non-polar molecules, and like-dissolves-like.
because it have something in it
because it really can melt it
Not readily. Acetone or nail polish remover probably will, though.

Acetone is a chemical which will dissolve Styrofoam. Certain types of spray paint, as well as gasoline, will also dissolve Styrofoam.
Yes, it can, just don't add too much acetone.
To produce plastic yourself, you can do the following:Materials needed:AcetoneGlass container with lidStyrofoamStep1Remove the lid from the glass container and pour a small amount of acetone into it. Acetone is used as paint thinner and can be found at hardware stores. Fill ½ inch of the jar with the acetone to start, and add more later if needed.Step2Break the Styrofoam into small pieces.Step3Drop the Styrofoam into the acetone jar. As it hits the acetone it melts. Continue to add Styrofoam into the jar until it stops melting. If you need more plastic than the amount of Styrofoam in the jar, pour more acetone and then add more Styrofoam.Step4Wait for 5 minutes to allow some of the acetone to evaporate. If you want to mold the plastic, wait 1 more minute. At that time, the plastic is easily shaped. Sculpt it into whatever shape you want.

No set answer, depends on the solid and the liquid. Styrofoam into acetone - pretty darn fast. A pebble into water - pretty darn slow.
