Best Answer

yes because the size of the molecules change therefore so does the weight

Counterpoint:

No, a gallon of water would weigh the same if it were frozen into a "gallon" of ice. The molecules do not change size, they simply do not move as fast and stick together when they are frozen. Therefore nothing is added or subtracted at a molecular level, and the weight of a liquid is the same whether it is frozen or solid.

Water has a density of 1.00 gram/cubic centimeter.

Ice, on the other hand, has a density of 0.931 gram/cubic centimeter.

(As the volume is equal, and mass = density x volume)

No. Mass does not change when the phase changes. But the gallon of liquid water will expand and be more than a gallon when it is ice. That is why ice floats. The solid phase of water (ice) is less dense than the liquid phase.

A Gallon of ice weighs less than a gallon of water (one gallon is a precise volume).

Ice is less dense than water.

So a gallon water frozen to a solid block will weigh the same but be 1.1 X its original volume.

Conversely a block of ice ocupying the volume taken by a gallon of water willweigh about 0.9 times the gallon of water.

It would weight the same. Water expands as it freezes so the volume would increase but weight would not change.

No it weighs less that is why ice forms on the top of water and floats

Weight of one gallon of alcohol?

Almost the same as pure water The specific gravity of fermented wine is very close to that of water, because although the weight is increased by dissolved solids, it is reduced by the alcohol content. Sweet wines tend to have a higher SG, so they weigh a bit more per gallon than water, which weighs 8.34 pounds per US gallon. During the winemaking process, it can weigh as much as 9 pounds or more.
