Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide that stays at an extremely cold temperature of minus one hundred and nine degrees Fahrenheit. Unlike regular water ice, dry ice does not melt into a liquid when it warms up. Instead, it undergoes a process called sublimation, transforming directly from a solid freeze into a thick gas.

When you place dry ice into warm water, it rapidly releases cold carbon dioxide gas. Adding dish soap to this mixture creates a fascinating chemical reaction. The escaping gas becomes trapped inside soapy water, forming large foggy bubbles that continuously grow and expand over the container.

Eventually, the weight of the gas causes these soap bubbles to burst open. As the soapy film pops, it releases a heavy cloud of white smoke that flows smoothly across the surface. This classic science experiment beautifully demonstrates phase changes and gas expansion in a visual way.
