1)If I mixed salt in water I would expect the salt to: 2) If I mixed starch in water I would expect the starch to:

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.
