Yes. Freezing a liquid simply slows the rate at which the molecules travel, it does not add or subtract anything at a molecular level. So a liquid weighs the same as before when it is frozen.
So if you melt an ice cube, it will weigh the same in liquid form as it did before it melted. This would change slightly if a high amount of evaporation occurred, but a liter of liquid water will weigh the same once it is frozen.

∙ 8y agoNot exactly. An ice cube (frozen water) takes up a bit more volume than the water it's made from. The water molecules align in a rigid framework when freezing robs them of the energy to circulate freely. When they're melted, they can actually get closer to each other and slide around... one of the things that makes water slippery. When frozen, the molecules line up in neat rows according to the intermolecular forces (the + and - charges) from the molecules, based on where the atoms line up). The frozen water occupies a slightly larger volume than the liquid water. That's why ice cubes float.

∙ 12y agoNo, the water (unless it evaporates) will have the same mass.
There is no reason for the mass to change. The density, however, will change: ice is less dense than water because of its crystal structure, and this is why ice tends to float in water.

Ice is about 90% the weight of water. That’s why it floats and has about 90% of its volume under the water.

What low property of ice allows it to float on water?
when water turns to ice its volume increases whilst its weight stays the same, therefore ice has a lower density than water, and this allows it to float.
How would you describe a cup of water and a cup of ice using the properties of mass weight volume and density?
Mass of ice less than that of water.Weight (other than in space) of ice less than that of water. Volume of both the same. Density of ice less than that of water.
One liter of water weighs more than 1 liter of ice?
One liter of water weighs more than 1 liter of ice. This is because water expands when it is frozen, thus the liquid water will have more water compared to the ice.
If you float an ice cube in a glass of water filled to the brim will the water overflow when the ice melts?
The level of the liquid stays the same : the ice is no longer above the water but it takes up less space as water.Ice floats, therefore it is less dense than liquid water. (They are both made of H2O.) As the ice melts it becomes denser, using less space for the same about of mass (water is unlike most substances that become less dense as they melt). So if it takes less space for the same mass, the water level goes down. (The actual mass does not change only its form.) However, the volume of ice above the water level is approximately 12.5% of the total). When this melts you will find that its 'extra' volume causes the final level to be the same as the original one.The science behind this has to do with Archimedes Principle, which states that the mass of the liquid displaced by a floating object is equivalent to the mass of the object. The space taken up by the object under the water is same as the amount of water of the same weight. So in ice cube terms: the volume of the water that the ice cube displaces is the same as the weight of water in the ice cube. Given that these two are exactly the same, the level therefore remains constant.
Does one gallon of water weigh more if it is frozen?
yes because the size of the molecules change therefore so does the weightCounterpoint:No, a gallon of water would weigh the same if it were frozen into a "gallon" of ice. The molecules do not change size, they simply do not move as fast and stick together when they are frozen. Therefore nothing is added or subtracted at a molecular level, and the weight of a liquid is the same whether it is frozen or solid.Water has a density of 1.00 gram/cubic centimeter.Ice, on the other hand, has a density of 0.931 gram/cubic centimeter.(As the volume is equal, and mass = density x volume)[Water will be heavier.]
Water weight ice weight?
Water's weight, when frozen into ice stays the same, but the density of water is much higher than ice's, since Ice has the same weight and contents of Water, but takes up significantly more space.
Why is the volume of 1 gram of water the same as 1 gram of ice?
It is not. It varies slightly. The volume of ice will be larger than with water when water and ice are the same weight.
Does an ice cube with a certain weight melts and the resulting weight is?
The weight of the water will stay the same whether ice, water or steam, because the mass has not changed.
When Ice floating on water melts what happens to liquid level and why?
When ice cube is submerged on water...The upthrust created on the ice cube by water is equal to the weight of the displaced water...when the ice cube is melting its volume changes but its weight remains the same and its exactly equal to the weight of displaced water when the ice cube was frozen...therefore the 'volume of of melted water' fits exactly to the 'volume of displaced water when the ice cube was frozen'... So the water level does not change! -Shenal K Mendis ;)

Why does weight melt ice?
The melting of ice represents a change of state (solid to liquid). When ice melts, nothing "disappears" from where it melted. The mass of the water is the same as that of the ice. Think of it in terms of molecules of water - the number stays the same and the mass will be the same. So, with the same force pulling those molecules down (gravity), there is no reason for mass to change as everything is still there. It's like weighing an apple, smashing it up, and weighing it again. It'll stay (roughly) the same. Thankyou for the answer on my homework
Which has higher denesity ice or water?
Ice has a LOWER density than water as ice FLOATS in water!!!!!!! Upon freezing water to form ice, expansion occurs thus more volume and surface area but the same weight.
Can you gain weight by eating ice?
You cannot gain weight by eating ice. Ice is water and water is used to hydrate the body. This may actually help you lose weight.
When ice melts does it get heavier or lighter?
No. As it melts, it will saturate the layer below it, so that layer of snow will be heavier but there will be the same amount of water-equivalent on the limbs. And some of the water will likely drip off the branches anyway. In other words, the most weight that will be on tree limbs is right after the snow stops falling.
Why does ice do not change its weight while changing its state from solid to liquid?
Because the quantity of water molecules stays the same. The volume changes, water is more dense than ice.
What is less compact ice or water?
Ice. A give weight of frozen water will occupy a large volume than the same weight of liquid water.
How would you describe a cup of water and a cup of ice using the properties of mass weight volume and density?
Mass of ice less than that of water.Weight (other than in space) of ice less than that of water. Volume of both the same. Density of ice less than that of water.
