It depends on how much ice you have! If you have one kilogram of water, and then freeze it you will have one kilogram of ice. If you are thinking about density (how much volume one kilogram of ice occupies) then it expands as it freezes. 1 litre/gallon of ice weighs less than an identical volume of water. This is unusual because most solids are denser than the liquid phase. See link to Pierce College below for lots more info on water including a temperature/density graph for water/ice. This unusual density change between solid and liquid is important for life because it means ice floats on water. It means that a deep pond stays liquid at the bottom allowing fish to survive through a period when the air temperature is below freezing.

How much weight 1 cubic yard of ice?

1 cubic yard of ice has a weight of 49421 pound-force.


How fast does a cubic foot of ice melt?

It takes 3 minutes for a cubic foot of ice to melt if you have a tempertured controled room because if its to hot or to cold the ice will either take faster to melt or slower so 3 minutes is the average time for a cubic foot of ice to melt.


How many pounds in 1 cubic yard of ice?

Ice weighs 57.4 pounds per cubic foot. 1 cubic yard then weighs 27 * 57.4 = 1,549.8 lb.


What is the weight of ice in a rink that is 32 feet x 56 feet with 4inches of water?

Volume of ice in rink = 32 x 56 x 1/3 = 597.33333 cubic feet. One cubic foot of ice weighs 57.41 pounds. So weight of ice in rink is 597.333 x 57.41 which equals 34292.887 pounds


How much does 1 cubic meter of ice weigh?

The weight of 1 cubic meter of ice can be calculated by multiplying the density of ice (approximately 917 kilograms per cubic meter) by the volume of 1 cubic meter. Therefore, 1 cubic meter of ice weighs approximately 917 kilograms.


How much does 1 cubic foot of crushed ice weigh?

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.


What will a cubic foot of water expand to when turning to ice?

A cubic foot of water will expand by about 9% when it freezes and turns into ice. This means that it will occupy more space as ice compared to its liquid form, due to the specific arrangement of water molecules in the solid state.


How much oxygen is in one cubic foot of snow?

Snow is not uniform for density so you would have to weigh the cubic foot you are interested in. Each pound or kilogram would be composed of 1/9 hydrogen and 8/9 oxygen (by mass) since the molecular weight of water is 18, the atomic weight of hydrogen is 1 and the atomic weight of oxygen is 16. Based on 1 cubic foot of snow being about 10% the weight of a cubic foot of water, it would weigh approximately 6.25 pounds and contain about 5.56 pounds of oxygen.


What is the weight of a block of ice twenty four inches by twenty four inches by twenty four inches if ice weighs ninety two percent as much as water and water weighs 62.5 pounds per cubic foot?

The volume of the block of ice is 2ft * 2ft * 2ft or 8 ft3. The equivalent weight of 8 cubic feet of water is 8ft3 * 62.5 lb/ft3 or 500 lbs. To find the weight of ice take 92% of the equivalent weight of water or 0.92 * 500 lbs = 460 lbs


What does 12 sq in x 1 in ice weigh?

For a rough idea, we'll assume at first that ice has the same density as water ...62.43 pounds per cubic foot at its maximum density.The volume described in the question is 12 x 1 = 12 cubic inches = 1/144 cubic foot,so it would weigh 6.937 ounces.But wait ! We all know that ice doesn't weigh as much as water ... it floats in water.The only density I could find for ice is 0.9167 gm/cm3 right at the freezing point, andif I intend to pursue this answer to its logical conclusion, I guess I'll have to do thewhole labor-intensive conversion.The result I got says that 0.9167 gm/cm3on Earth = 57.23 pound/cubic footAt that rate, your 1/144 cubic foot of ice weighs only 6.359 ounces.


Does a magnet float on dry ice?

No, a magnet does not float on dry ice. Dry ice does not have magnetic properties and cannot support the weight of a magnet like a liquid nitrogen bath could.


Why does the weight of the dry ice decrease when it is placed on the scale?

The weight of dry ice decreases when placed on a scale because it sublimates, meaning it changes from a solid directly to a gas without becoming a liquid. This process causes the dry ice to lose mass as it turns into gas, resulting in a decrease in weight on the scale.
