It's a non-Newtonian fluid so it's not completely a solid. The chemical bonds in corn starch are very long and stringy and when water comes in it breaks them apart making it a liquid. The solid part is when it is squished together it makes a solid.

Why does total mass stay the same when a solid dissolves in water?

The total mass remains the same when a solid dissolves in water because the number and types of atoms or molecules present before and after the dissolution process remain constant. The only change is in the arrangement of these particles as the solid breaks down into individual particles and disperses within the water.


Can solid turn into liquid?

Yes. Every solid has a melting temperature above which (hotter) it is a liquid and beneath which (colder) it is a solid. Answer For example, water becomes ice at zero degrees Celsius / 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That temperature is the melting temperature for ice. Hotter than that temperature will turn ice into water, and colder than that temperature will turn water into ice. 0 degrees Celsius is also called the triple point because water, ice, and water vapor can all exist at that temperature without changing their forms. In other words, at that temperature, ice can stay ice, water can stay water, and water vapor can stay water vapor.
