Mass is just "the amount of stuff there is". We can measure it in kg. If I have 4kg ice and 4kg water, then the answer is "no", but I could just as easily have 4kg of ice and 5kg water, in which case the answer is "yes".
If you mean "does freezing water make it heavier?", then the answer is no - 4kg water makes 4kg ice, and they will weigh the same. However, ice has a greater volume than water*, so freezing water will make it expand.
*This is not true for every liquid/solid combo.

∙ 12y agoNo the mass is identical but the volume (and thus density) of a lot of molecules together differ that is why ice floats on water.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. Molecules of Ice and molecules of water are exactly the same. But in ice there is more spaces in between the molecules, so there are fewer of them in a given volume.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoNo. The state of matter does not affect the mass of the molecules. Ice is less dense than liquid water because there is more space between the molecules.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo because they are the same weight

How do things float?
things float because they are less denser then the water. second things do not float, the molecules from the water support the molecules from the thing on the water. that is how something heavy can float. it just has to be boyent meaning it is spread out enough so there is more water molecules to hold it up. if you mean in the air it is the same concept.
Is hot water less dense than cold water?
Yes, because the higher the temperature, the faster and more spread out the molecules, therefore making hot water less dense than cold water.
Are molecules in hot water different then molecules in cold water?
If you have the same volume of both then there are in cold water more molecules.
Does one cup of oil have the same mass as one cup of water?
Oil is less dense than water. Therefore, equal volumes of water and oil will not have the same mass. You can prove this by weighing each. The cup of oil will weigh less.
Would you expect the particles in chlorine gas to diffuse faster or slower than the particles in argon gas?
The rate of diffusion of a gas depends on the weight of the gas molecules. The heavier the molecules, the slower they move - the lighter the molecules, the faster they move. Nitrogen molecules weigh about 28 units. Chlorine molecules weigh 71 units. So we would expect nitrogen to diffuse more quickly than chlorine.
Does ice molecules has less mass than water molecules?
no it has more
Why does cold water have greater mass to volume ratio than hot water?
molecules are less agitated and therefore more densely packed together

Why does a sponge have less mass than a book of the same size?
the sponge has less molecules where as the book has more molecules in one place
What determines if an object will sink or float in water?
If an object's density (how uch mass/molecules/atoms it has in any given volume) is more than that of water, than it sinks; less, then it floats.
Is it always true that the molecules of dense liquid are heavier than the molecules of lighter molecules?
NO. Water has a density greater than gasoline, but gasoline, octane anyway, has a greater molecular mass than water molecules.
How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water.

Does water have a greater mass than lead?
water has less density than lead. Mass depends on its volume
Why do icebergs float when they are cold and cold water sinks?
Icebergs and ice are less dense than water, so they naturally float. The way their molecules are organised they have way more volume for the amount of mass they have than equal mass of liquid water. Cold water can be denser than warmer water, the molecules are closer together and not vibrating as much, so it sinks below warmer or less denser water (or any other liquid). It's the opposite of what happens with icebergs, even though they're made of the same stuff.
Why does steam weigh less than water?
Both steam and liquid water are made of the same substance (H2O). However, in the gaseous form (steam), the molecules are moving more quickly, and they are spread apart much farther. As such, the number of molecules per given volume (the mass per volume) is lower for steam. Mass per volume is the same thing as density.
Why does water vapour have less density?
Because the water molecules are spread over a larger volume in a vapour than they are in a solid.
What do molecules of ice have less of than molecules of water?
The chemical formula is absolutely identical - H2O. The density of ice is lower than the density of water.
