Soap in a Microwave

It can be a bad idea to put things other than food and drink in a microwave so enjoy this amazing science experiment video knowing that you don’t have to try it yourself!  What happens when you put a bar of soap in a microwave? Something strange that’s for sure. Watch as a special brand of Ivory soap is put in a microwave and nuked for a minute or so. The soap heats up, softening, and heating the water and air inside it. The air expands inside the soap, pushing it out and making it foamy. The soap is now brittle and flaky but it is still soap, putting it in the microwave causes a physical change but there was no chemical reaction.
