Cornstarch is a polymeric carbohydrate.
Well, there is no chemical reaction, really, since the cornstarch still remains cornstarch. (and if you dry it, it becomes cornstarch again) It's just that the cornstarch lightly bonds to the water which then lightly bonds to other cornstarch, creating a net-like substance. This net is easily broken and made, thus increasing the viscosity of the fluid and adding some other interesting properties to it as well.
An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible liquids. Cornstarch is a solid and this mixture is a suspension.
Yes, when cornstarch is mixed with vinegar, it undergoes a chemical reaction. The reaction between the two creates a substance known as a suspension, where the cornstarch particles are dispersed in the vinegar, resulting in a thickened mixture.
When you mix cornstarch and vinegar together, it is a chemical change. This is because a new substance is formed due to the reaction between the cornstarch and vinegar.
