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.

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 is melted the volume of the ice decreases?

When ice melts, it transforms from a solid to a liquid, which results in a decrease in volume. The molecules in the solid ice are packed more tightly than in the liquid water, leading to a lower volume when the ice melts.


What would be the volume of water in a 250-mL container once the ice melts?

The volume of water will still be 250 mL once the ice melts. The ice will melt into water, but the total volume of the container will remain the same.


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.


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.


The ice ball or brick floats in water tank Then if the ice melts what will happend?

When the ice ball or brick melts, it will turn into water. The overall water level in the tank will remain the same because the volume of water displaced by the ice when it was floating is equal to the volume of water produced when the ice melts.


When an ice cube in a glass of water melts the water level in the glass?

The water level remains the same after the ice cube melts because the volume of the ice cube is already accounted for in the water level when it is frozen. When the ice melts, it simply changes state from solid to liquid without changing the overall volume in the glass.


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.


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).


When a block of ice floating on water in a container melts what happens to the volume of water in the container it increases or decreases?

Strictly speaking, the volume of water will increase. For example, if you have a 200 gram chunk of ice floating in 1000 ml of water, the volume of the water itself is 1000 ml. When the ice melts, the volume of water will be 1200 ml. However, if you're asking whether the water level in the container will go up or down, the answer is "neither." The ice displaces an amount of water equal to the mass of the ice. When the ice melts, the mass does not chance, so the amount of the original water displaced by the melted ice does not change. Hence, the water level will remain the same.


To measure the volume of an ice cube a student first melts the ice then measures the volume of the liquid with a graduated cylinder is this procedure accurate?

No. When water freezes and becomes ice, it expands. This causes it to have greater volume. If you were to melt down ice, the volume you would measure afterwards (in liquid form) would be lass than the volume of the actual solid 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.
