No, the volume of ice cannot be smaller than the water.

Which occupies the greatest volume 1g of ice 1 g of liquid water or 1g of water vapor?

1g water vapour occupies the greatest volume - even at high pressure. 1g of liquid water occupies the least volume. 1g of solid ice is greater volume than liquid water - and this is the only common liquid where the solid is of less volume than the liquid state.


Do scientists use the measure of density to tell if something will float?

yes. for example; Ice is just frozen water, right? So why does ice float in water? When we find the mass of an ice cube and divide that by its volume, we come up with about .92. Ninety-two hundredths is less than one, so the density of ice is less then that of water. Ice floats because the ratio of its mass to volume is less than one.


Does cubed or crushed ice melt faster?

Crushed ice melts much faster than cubed because crushed ice is smaller. Crushed ice melts faster because it has a larger surface area exposed to the air or liquid its in. It is also less dense and will be more subject to temperature change because of it.


How does the mass of ice cubes affect its melting time?

Yes. Keep in mind that it takes one BTU to reduce or increase the temperature of one cm3 water by one degree celsius. Per physics, cold moves toward hot, so the temperature of the ice can be said to move into the temperature of the water. (This can help you visualize the process). As the ice melts, it cools the water around it. The greater the volume, the longer the cooling process takes. This is also affected by the surface area and the amount of it in contact with the water. To break it down simply, the greater the volume of water, the faster the ice will melt.


What is an example of changing the volume of a material is?

For example changing the volume of a balloon.

What happens to volume of ice when it melts?

The volume decreases. Ice is less dense than water. Put another way, a given weight of water can be stored in a smaller volume than the same weight of ice. Another possible, but also possibly less helpful, answer is that ice cubes get smaller as they melt because they lose content as the water in them runs off as a liquid.


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.


What is heavier ice or wood?

it depends on what wood it is and what ice.


Why is ice heavier than lead?

It isn't. How did you get that idea? Ice is much lighter than lead, for the same volume.


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.


Would a glass that was filled to the brim with ice and water would it overflow?

No, a glass filled to the brim with ice and water will not overflow once the ice starts to melt. The ice displaces some of the volume of the water, so there is enough space for the melted ice without overflowing.


What are Ice particles smaller than 5 millimeters in diameter are called?

Ice particles smaller than 5 millimeters in diameter is called "Sleet."


What is the difference in weight between ice and water?

The difference in weight between ice and water is that ice is less dense than water, so a given volume of ice weighs less than the same volume of water.


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 planet is rock and ice and smaller than Earth's moon?

Pluto, which is no longer considered a planet, is made of rock and ice and is smaller than Earth's moon.


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.


Do all solids have less volume than same mass of liquid?

No, not all solids necessarily have less volume than the same mass of liquid. The relationship between volume and mass depends on the density of the substance. Some solids may be more dense than liquids, resulting in a smaller volume for the same mass.
