Best Answer

If you are asking if a cup filled with water and ice, when the ice melts, will the water overflow, then the answer is no. As the ice becomes water, then it loses its ability to displace the water that it was first displacing as it was ice. So in the end, the water level won't raise or fall as the ice melts, it just replaces the space it once filled with water, leaving you with a full cup of water.

Would a glass that was filled to the brim with ice and water would it overflow?

No. The volume taken up by the ice gets smaller as it melts. This makes the total volume of ice and water in the glass smaller as time passes. So the glass will not overflow


When ice cube floating in a tumbler of water melts completely why there is no overflow of water?

Its actually quite simple. The answer would be Anomalous expansion of Water, which means that the volume the Ice cubes are consuming in a glass filled upto the brim is more than water alone. When Ice melts and comes back into water form, it uses lesser volume (space) in the glass. Hence it does not allow the glass to overflow as the person pouring into the glass had poured in keeping into view the level of the ice (which uses more volume).

Why is it important to not completely fill the fish aquarium with water?

If a fish tank is filled completely, then anything added to the tank will cause it to overflow, and any disturbance, which might result from the vibrations of a passing truck, will cause it to overflow; in addition, there is an increased risk that some foolish fish might leap out of the tank.

If a balloon were completely filled with water, with no extra space, then it will change shape and/or size as the water is frozen. This is because water expands at a rate of 9% when frozen.
