When dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is dissolved in water, it undergoes a physical change rather than a chemical change. The dry ice sublimes, meaning it changes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. This process is reversible, as the carbon dioxide gas can re-solidify back into dry ice when the temperature decreases.
