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.

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 dirt and rocks when ice melts?

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.
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.
Ice melts with contraction in volume?
Ice actually expands as it melts, which is why a floating iceberg will raise the water level as it melts. This is because water molecules in solid ice are locked in a crystal lattice structure, which becomes more disordered and takes up more space as the ice melts into liquid water.
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.
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 happens to the density volume mass and shape of an ice cube put in a glass jar and left out in the sun?
it melts
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 happens when ice is wrapped in saw dust or woolen blanket?

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.
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.
What happens to the mass and the volume of an ice cube as it melts?
As an ice cube melts, its mass remains constant because the matter is conserved. However, the volume of the ice cube increases as it turns into liquid water due to the decreased molecular organization in the liquid state compared to the solid state.
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.
This happens to ice when it gets hot?
It melts
What happens when ice is in a plastic cup?
. it melts
What happens when dry ice melts?
Rather than melts, dry ice evaporates. This process is called sublimation and happens at a slower rate than the melting of water ice.
