Plaster of Paris dissolves in water by forming a suspension of particles called a colloid. This happens because the water molecules penetrate the gaps between the plaster particles, causing them to break apart and disperse in the water. This process can be reversed by allowing the water to evaporate, leaving behind the solid plaster material.
