Best Answer

8.35 pounds.

Because ice is a solid, technically you cannot measure ice using gallon as the units. However, a gallon of water that has turned to ice will have the same weight before and after freezing. This will not be true if the temperature is lowered even further or the ice is under pressure.

At 4 degrees C, just before freezing, a gallon of water weighs 3.79 kg or 8.35 pounds.

===============================================================================

All the above do not take into account that water expands in volume as it freezes (that is why Ice floats) thus if you started with a gallon of water, you would have more than a gallon of ice.

The density of ice is 0.9169, the density of water is 1.0

Therefore a gallon of Ice will weigh 7.5598405 pounds or 3470.4665 grams, while a gallon of water weighs 8.245 pounds or 3785 grams.

A gallon of water (US) weighs 8.33 lbs. A gallon of water imperial weighs 10 lbs.
Ice (frozen water) expands initially as it freezes and will contract as it gets colder, therefore is lighter per volume than water. Then because they are cube,round, wedge or cone shaped. ice cubes won't fill a gallon container completely. Therefore it could weigh somewhere between 7 to 8 lbs. for a US gallon or 8.5 to 9.5 lbs for an imperial gallon.

Gallon is a unit of volume, Kg is a unit of weight (mass).

1 Gallon = 3.7854118 liters

Considering a liter weighing 1 Kg (water for instance), then a gallon weighs 3.7854118 Kg.

Water weights 8.328 lbs. per gallon. since while freezing water expands slightly a gallon of ice will be just a few onces less or approximately 8 lbs.

That depends if it's a gallon of melted ice cream, or solid ice cream in a gallon sized tub. Ice cream often has loads of air added to it so they can sell less of it to the customer.
