Question:

What is the chemical that results from mixing dry ice and soap?

I recently saw a video of someone mixing dry ice (CO2) and soap it turned into a sort of jellyish-like mixture and then the guy from the video touched it and it just vanished. I wanna try it but I dont know if it is safe to touch the dry ice like because I know dry ice by itself burns when you touch it. But when you mix it with soap I wanna know what it forms (like an actual chemical formula) or some sort of explanation of how this occurs. and if it is harmful in any way to touch the mix that results out of it. I am a 3rd yr biochem major but I dont think I know enough to determine what compound it is or anything so yeah I need a little help from all you chemists out there! Thanx

Answer:

When your car alarm is triggered, it sounds a loud horn and flashes lights. This causes drain on your battery, and the engine isn't running so it's not being recharged. I'm sure your neighbors love the fact that your alarm is blasting long enough to run down your battery. If the alarm isn't being triggered and the battery is still running down, you probably need a new battery. The alarm is 'on' all night, monitoring the car, and if the battery is old and doesn't hold much charge, it could drain the battery.
Does it have a locking mushroom or a u-shape? Do the wheels have spokes? Does the lock fit on a sprocket? (messy) Can you hook the lock on the chain? (also messy) Can you lock the gear lever to the frame?
