Hello,
Ice does have the same mass as water before it melts. You can (almost) never lose or gain mass without adding or
subtracting
mass from the system. Mass just can't appear or
disappear
from
nowhere
.
According in water the volume that ice occupies is greater than that of water due to the arrangements of the molecules of ice. This is why you would be led to think
there
is a change in mass.
However, according to this Law of conservation of mass, the number of particles in an ice cube and water are the same. Only the state has changed, not the mass.
What else can I help you with?
Does the mass of ice reduce after melted to water?
What happens to the mass of ice as it melts into water? Nothing. The mass stays exactly the same. Mass can be defined as the amount of matter present in an object, and no matter is added to or taken away from ice as it changes into its liquid state, water. However, interestingly, the DENSITY (or the way the mass is distributed throughout the object, defined as mass per volume or g/mL) does change as ice becomes water. As ice melts to water, its density increases. Another way of looking at it is, as water freezes to ice, its density decreases. This is why ice floats on water! (If this weren't so, the worlds climate and environment would be drastically different -- think of the polar ice caps...) _______________________________________________________________________ But it is true that : ice weighs 0.92 g/mL and water is 1 g/mL so technically there is a difference Thank you George. Just to clarify a minor point, those values you gave aren't weight, but density. Ice doesn't "weigh" 0.92 g/mL, that value is its density. The density of ice is 0.92 g/mL The density of water is 1 g/mL Density is a measurement of the way an objects weight is distributed in a volume. When a block of ice with a certain mass melts into water, the mass of the water is EXACTLY the same. What changes is the volume occupied by the water when the ice melts. So, as far as weight, or mass, is concerned, there still is technically no difference.
When an ice cube melts does it have the same mass as before?
Yes, the mass of the melted ice cube remains the same as the original ice cube. When ice melts, it undergoes a phase change from a solid to a liquid, but the total amount of matter remains constant.
Why don't floating ice cubes raise the water level when they melt?
cause whhen ice melts it turns to water that all i should have to say **The previous answer is nonsense. If the dough (or whatever other material you wish to use) is floating in a full cup of water with ice, as the ice melts the level of the cup WILL NOT RISE. Simple physics, ice is less dense than water. Density is equal to mass divided by volume or Density = Mass/Volume Therefore, differentiating between equal masses of water and ice, the melted ice will have LESS volume than the equal (mass) amount of water in the glass thereby having no effect on the overall volume of water in the glass..... to paraphrase the first answer-er ... 'duh'
What discovery did scientists make about the water from melted icebergs?
Scientists discovered that water from melted icebergs is very pure and free from contaminants. This is due to the fact that impurities are left behind in the ice as it forms, leading to clean and fresh water when the ice melts.
Does melting ice make the water around it warmer or colder?
makes it colder since the ice that is melting is taking the heat in from the water around it to cause it to melt that is why you put ice in your ice water and it gets colder
Can you eat melted ice?
No, because melted ice is water - you drink water.
Why does melted ice boil?
Melted ice is liquid water and water boil.
If someone placed some ice cubes ina a beaker in a warm room the total mass of the ice cubes was 40g what mass of water is formed when all the ice has melted?
the mass does not change only the shape
What is a melted ice cap?
An ice cap is an ice mass that covers less than 50 000 km² of land area (usually covering a highland area), so a melted ice cap is literally just one that has melted, and the high volume of water causes floods.
What is melted glacier ice?
water
What is the water availability in Antarctica?
Water is abundant by melting glacial ice or by desalinating sea water.
Is melted ice make distilled water?
No, melted ice is not the same as distilled water. Distilled water is created by heating water to create steam, then cooling and condensing the steam back into liquid form. This process removes impurities from the water, resulting in a purer form of water compared to melted ice.
How do Antarctic scientists get water?
drink the melted ice
What is the difference between the water from melted ice and the ice itself?
The water from melted ice is in liquid form, while ice itself is in solid form. The water molecules in liquid water have more energy and are able to move more freely compared to the tightly packed ice molecules.
Does frozen water increase in size when melted?
Yes, frozen water (ice) is less dense than liquid water, so it actually increases in size when melted. This is why ice cubes float in liquid water.
What do you call ice that is melted into a liquid?
Water Water has three forms: solid = ice / liquid = water / gas = steam
How is water obtained in Antarctica?
Water is available from melted ice, or from desalinated sea water.
