no, mass is how many atoms are in that said area. the ice is just changing form not mass
actually, the mass does change. this is one of the extreamly few chemicals that do. the previous answer has a basic thinking that is for the majority of chemicals but for water its slightly different. whenwater is a liquid the atoms are in their normal state, but when frozen water makes these hexagon like shapes which contract the movement of the atoms and essensaly make those 6 now 1 atom. which is why your ice floats on top of your water and not within it.

Yes, the mass does changes. When the ice is exposed to heat it changes to liquid or water but the mass changes when the ice changes.

What happens to the volume of a beaker when ice melts in it?
The volume of a beaker doesn't change, it's a beaker. What your were probably trying to ask is what happens to the volume of the ice when it melts. The volume decreases; water is special. Unlike other substances when it freezes it expands. That is why ice floats, it is less dense then water.
Why is energy absorbed when ice melts?
When an ice cube gains energy, it is the same as gaining heat. So if an ice cube is getting warmer, it melts.
When ice melts does its volume increase or decrease?
Water is more dense than ice. That's why ice floats in water. As the ice melts, the water level rises, but it never gets as high as the highest peak of the floating ice was.
Which cube melts faster a frozen juice cube or a frozen water cube?
In most cases an equal volume of juice will melt faster than an equal volume of ice
Does ice melts or dissolve in water?
Ice melts in water because the ice is below freezing and the water is above freezing (warmer than the ice) so slowly the ice melts in the water, but still cools it down a little. when it melts the water frozen in the ice form is added to the amount of water it was put in.
Does the volume of ice changes when ice melts?
Yes the volume of ice changes when the ice melts. In fact the volume of ice goes on increasing up to 0 degree Celsius and when the ice melts completely the volume of ice decreases on the contrary. Yes because when ice freezes, it expands and when it melts, it gets smaller.
When ice forms water its volume comes down so why would ocean levels rise if Arctic ice melts?
Much of arctic ice sits above the level of the ocean. When this ice melts it adds to the volume of the ocean without subtracting any ice volume.

Ice melts with contraction in volume?
Actually its bcoz of hydrogen bond
When ice melts will the liquid water occupy more or less volume than the ice?
The liquid has the same mass but less volume than the ice.
Ten lbs ice how many ounces of water?
Ten pounds (160 ounces) of ice melts into ten pounds (160 ounces) of water. The volume decreases when ice melts, but the weight does not change.
If you melt an ice cube will the volume be the same?
Nope, you lose about 9% of volume when ice melts. That's because when you freeze water, it expands. It loses volume if you do it the other way around.
Can global warming cause the oceans to rise?
Yes. Global warming melts ice. Its not the ice that already drifts on the seas that is a problem, it displaces the volume of its weight, so if it melts, water levels will not rise. But the ice that covers land does not do this. If it melts, it will increase ocean levels.
Will there be more ice or water from one ice cube?
If you freeze a given quantity of water, the volume increases. When it melts, the volume decreases. The number of molecules remains the same.
What if icebergs were to melt what would happen to the sea level?
Icebergs melting have no effect at all on sea levels. Ice bergs are floating ice. Floating ice displaces exactly the same volume of water as the ice itself will have when it melts, and therefore total volume does not change as ice melts. A simple experiment in your own kitchen will verify this fact.
What happens to the mass and the volume of an ice cube as it melts?
The mass should not change but will decreases slightly due to evaporation. The volume will decrease.
Will a glass of water filled to the brim with a cube of ice floating in it rise when ice melts?
No. The ice will melt such that it fills the volume of ice that the submerged part of the cube displaces.
