The phrasing of the question reveals a basic misunderstanding of the term "weight." Here is a famous trick question: Which weighs more, a pound of lead or a pound of feathers? Many people who answer quickly without thinking say the lead weighs more. That is, of course, silly. A pound is a pound is a pound. A pound of lead weighs exactly the same as a pound of feathers. But a pound of lead will occupy far less volume than a pound of feathers because the lead has greater density than the feathers. So let's look at the water-ice comparison. If you had asked, "Does a cubic foot of ice weigh less than a cubic foot of water," we could have answered, "Yes. Because ice is less dense than liquid water, equal volumes of the two substances will have different weights. So, a cubic foot of ice weighs less than a cubic foot of water."
What else can I help you with?
Can the volume of ice smaller than the water's?
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 molecules of ice have less mass than the molecules of water?
Mass is just "the amount of stuff there is". We can measure it in kg. If I have 4kg ice and 4kg water, then the answer is "no", but I could just as easily have 4kg of ice and 5kg water, in which case the answer is "yes". If you mean "does freezing water make it heavier?", then the answer is no - 4kg water makes 4kg ice, and they will weigh the same. However, ice has a greater volume than water*, so freezing water will make it expand. *This is not true for every liquid/solid combo.
What takes more space water or ice?
For the same weight, ice has more volume (takes up more space) than water. That is why ice floats in water. It is a property pretty unique to water. Normally in other elements, the solid form would sink.
How does ice float on top of water?
Ice is less dense than water so it floats. ex. ice is more dense than ethanol so it sinks.
Can the volume of ice smaller than the water's?
No, the volume of ice cannot be smaller than the water.
Why ice bottle is heavier than water bottle?
An ice bottle is heavier than a water bottle because ice has a higher density than water. The same volume of ice will weigh more than the same volume of liquid water because ice molecules are more tightly packed together. When water freezes into ice, it expands and becomes more compact, leading to greater weight in the same space.
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.
What takes up more space an ice cube or the water?
The water takes up more space than the ice cube. When water freezes into ice, it expands and takes up slightly more volume than it did in its liquid form.
Is ice's mass more than water when it freezes?
No. Only the volume[size] changes.
What is more dense the water or the ice?
Water has a greater density than ice. When water freezes, it expands, which means the same amount of H20 is taking up more space. Since density is a ratio of the amount of matter in an object (mass) to how much space it takes up (volume), if something is larger in size and has the same mass as something smaller in size, the smaller thing will always have more density than the larger thing.
When ice melts does its volume increase or decrease?
Water is more dense than ice. That's why ice floats in water. As the ice melts, the water level rises, but it never gets as high as the highest peak of the floating ice was.
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.
Why is ice lighter than liquid water?
Ice is lighter than liquid water because the molecular structure of ice allows for more empty space between molecules, causing it to be less dense. This means that a given volume of ice will weigh less than an equal volume of liquid water, resulting in ice floating on top of water.
Is aluminum block heavier than ice?
Ice is heavier than aluminium. You may think that ice is just water really it holds more (volume) than aluminium.
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.
One liter of water weighs more than 1 liter of ice?
Yes, that is correct. This is because the water molecules in liquid form are more densely packed compared to the same volume of ice, which has a more open structure due to the arrangement of molecules in a crystalline lattice.
