The density of water at 4 °C is 1 gram per milliliter (1 g/mL).
There are 236.588 mL in one cup.
So 1 cup of pure water weighs about 236.588 g (about 8.3454 ounces, avoirdupois)
This is true at 4°C (39.2 °F) where water is the densest (1000 kg/m3, and is pretty close at most other temperatures above freezing and below the boiling point of water. Water at room temperature is 998.2 kg/m3.

So 1 Cup of water weighs 236.588 g.
There are 28.3495 grams per ounce, so 1 C of water weighs 8.3454 ounces.
This is true at 4°C (39.2 °F), and is pretty close at most other temperatures above freezing and below the boiling point of water.
In simpler terms, one ounce of water, at boiling, weighs one ounce. Add about 5% to the weight for water at room temperature. ..

A cup of water weighs more than a cup of ice, because water is denser than ice. The weight of the water in liquid form is greater than the same volume of ice due to its higher density.
Depending on the cup volume; if the cup has a capacity of 200 mL the weight is 200 g because the density of water is 1 g/cm3.
It depends how small it is crushed and how tightly it's packed. The smaller it's crushed and more tightly it's packed, the heavier it is as there is more ice and less space between the pieces of ice. In the most finely crushed and firmly packed volumes of the frozen stuff, the cubic foot of crushed ice will approach being a solid block. A cubic foot of water weighs about 62.4 pounds. A solid block of ice of the same volume weighs about 57.5 pounds. A cubic foot of "normal" crushed ice might weigh 35 to 45 pound range. And it could weigh more or less.
Ice floats on water because it is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, its molecules form a crystal structure which causes them to spread out and create a lattice. This spacing between molecules makes ice less dense, allowing it to float on the denser liquid water.
Ice melts the fastest in warm water compared to cold water, cold air, and warm air. Warm water transfers heat more efficiently to the ice, causing it to melt more quickly.
Liquid water molecules have more kinetic energy and are moving more freely than ice molecules, which are in a more ordered and rigid structure. As a result, liquid water flows more easily compared to ice, which is more solid and less fluid.
Ice floats on the surface of water because it is less dense than water. When water freezes, its molecules form a crystalline structure that causes them to be more spread out compared to the denser arrangement of molecules in liquid water, allowing ice to float.
