Yes, dissolving jelly is reversible. By adding heat, you can turn the dissolved jelly back into its original solid state by allowing the liquid to cool and set again.
Jelly is a colloidal suspension of water, sugar, and pectin, which forms a gel-like structure when cooled. This gel structure is reversible, meaning that jelly can return to a liquid state when heated. However, if jelly is overheated or boiled for too long, the pectin molecules can break down irreversibly, causing the jelly to lose its ability to gel properly. So, while the process of gelling and melting jelly is reversible, irreversible changes can occur if the jelly is heated too much.
Jelly is typically considered a colloidal gel, which is a type of solid with a continuous liquid phase. The solid structure in jelly is formed by the network of molecules or particles dispersed in the liquid component. So, jelly can be classified as a type of solid due to its unique gel-like properties.
Jelly is technically a colloid, which means it has properties of both a solid and a liquid. It behaves like a solid because it holds its shape, but it also flows like a liquid when pressure is applied.
Petroleum jelly itself does not harden; it is a semi-solid, waxy substance at room temperature. However, when exposed to extreme cold temperatures, petroleum jelly can become more solid and difficult to spread.

No, it is not reversible as you can't get the ingredients to make the jelly back. Therefore it is an irreversible change. (first message on Answers.com.) This is what I thought originally as well; however, jelly is only a disolved into the water. It will change state to a solid when cooled, but, when heated, it will melt. If heated (slowly) the water will evaporate and leave the jelly crytals behind. Sort of like salty water. They might not look the same, but the water will return to its original state. Thus, jelly is a reversible change.
Jelly is a solid, although it is rather viscous.
Reversible states: solid, liquid, gas

Jelly is solid due to the gelatin used in its preparation. Gelatin is a protein derived from collagen, which forms a network that traps liquid and gives jelly its jelly-like consistency when cooled.
Solidification is a reversible process as it involves the transition of a material from liquid to solid state, and can be reversed by melting the solid back into a liquid.

Jelly may be a liquid colloid.
Yes, this process is reversible; the water can be removed by evaporation or freeze drying.
