The reaction that occurs between CO2 (carbon dioxide) and sodium chloride (salt) when in H2O (water). The carbon dioxide bonds to the sodium chloride, creating a molecule significantly lighter than water, leading to swift evaporation of both the CO2 and sodium chloride.

The reaction was discovered by Professor Adwardo Vitenn in 1957
