=No. When water freezes, the mass and thus the weight remains the same. However, what does happen is that water becomes less dense - that is, the same amount of mass takes up more room. This is why freezing soda in cans or water bottles cause the container to expand (and sometimes explode). Also, the density change explains why ice floats in water - the ice is now less dense than water.=

No, because of the law of conservation of mass/matter.

The weight does not change but the density changes - so the same amount of water would take up more space as ice.
