Bouncing Bubbles: A Physical Reaction

Our claim that bouncing bubbles is a physical reaction because there was a mixture where no new substance is created, but there is 2 or more compounds making up the mixture. There is no new state of matter, no new color, nor a new smell, did change temperature based on average of all, didn’t produce gas, and didn’t produce light. Also the experiment did not create a gas or produce light. When we put the 10 ml of Dawn dish soap, 30 ml of water, and 1 ml of Glycerine together many things changed that were physical because it is a mixture not a chemical change so our claim is true. The volume is 41 ml so didn’t react to form a new substance or add any volume when mixed them together except for the bubbles when stirred they were created but that can happen without mixing if you have ever washed hands you produce bubbles when you touch the water because the soap reacts with the water to make bubbles which is a physical change because it is just a mixture didn’t change anything really.The smell did not change because the Glycerin and water did not a have a smell while the dish soap did making the mixture smell like that. There was never any sound. Touch was different when mixing them because none of them were sticky and it ended up being sticky because of soap and glycerin mixing. The taste was soapy we could taste the water , not the glycerin because not safe, and the soap tasted like soap. This is because when you add glycerin it makes it stronger it doesn’t make anything new it makes it stronger because when add glycerin makes it thicker. What happens is when you touch it with the glove you can bounce it because a bubble’s worst enemies are oil, dirt, evaporation, and gravity. The bubble will bounce off of a surface if the surface is free of oil or dirt particles that would normally cause a break in the thin soap film of the
