Ice is lighter than water. That is why it floats on water.
- The term "lighter" is confusing here. A pound of water will still freeze into a pound of ice. However, the the pound of ice is less dense than the pound of water, so it floats. This gives the impression that a pound of ice is lighter than a pound of water.
Well really, it depends on the quantity of both ice and water. However lets say if you had 1 kilogram of ice and 1 kilogram of water. The ice would weigh more because the particles are pulled together more and they're no longer liquid (physically) and the ice would be bigger and heavier (obviously) .

Can the volume of ice smaller than the water's?
No, the volume of ice cannot be smaller than the water.
Weight of produced water per gallon?
It really depends on where the water is being produced from. Typically it will be slightly heavier than clean water which is 8.3 lb/gal. In the field that I am working in we use the baseline of 8.5 lb/gal which is heavier than what we are actually working with, but that way we are always planning on a heavier load than we get.
Is dry ice or normal ice heavier?
Ice expands as it warms. At 4 degrees C water achieves it's maximum density. Warm ice is less dense than cold ice. Any amount of liquid water would mean that the ice has gotten as warm as it can get and that it is in equilibrium with the liquid water. The ice, being crystalline, has a discreet melting point so it is either water or it is warm ice. If the ice is wet, it is less dense than ice that is cold enough that the water in contact with it freezes. That doesn't mean that warm ice must be wet ice. If the water is removed, the dry ice will be the same density as the wet ice of the same temperature. Having said that, it is possible that you want to contrast the density of frozen carbon dioxide to water ice. * Water ice has a density of 0.92 g/ml * Dry ice (CO2) has a density range from 1.4 to 1.6 g/ml
Which has greater density ice or water how can you say that?
Water has a greater density than ice.
Do molecules of ice have less mass than the molecules of water?
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.
How will knowing that ice is heavier than water help you in your life?
ice is not heavier than water
Ice is heavier than water or not?
Ice is lighter (less dense) than water. Which is why ice can float on the surface of water.
Is aluminum block heavier than ice?
Ice is heavier than aluminium. You may think that ice is just water really it holds more (volume) than aluminium.
What is hevier ice or water?
If you freeze a sample of liquid water it should expand but still weigh the same amount. Water is denser than ice so by volume liquid water is heavier than water ice, thus ice floats.
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.
Is molasses heavier than water?
Yes molasses is heavier than water
Is sand heavier than water?
yes sand is heavier than 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.
Is sulfuric acid heavier than water?
It is 1.84 times heavier than water.
Can molten rock float on water?
No. Molten rock is heavier than water.
Which is heavier water or kerosene?
Water is heavier than diesel fuel
Is vinegar heavier than water?
no vinegar is heavier
