As atoms in water cool, they align to form a crystal (ice). This causes the space between molecules to increase, so the water expands. You get less molecules in a cubic inch of ice than you do in a cubic inch of water, so you get less weight. Ice is about 9/10ths as dense as water, so a gallon of ice weighs about 10% less than a gallon of water -- about 7.2 lbs. v. 8 lbs.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What are three objects that weigh less than a kilogram?
A feather, a smartphone, and a pencil each weigh less than a kilogram.
What are four objects that weigh less than a kilogram?
A feather, a smartphone, a notebook, and a pencil each weigh less than a kilogram.
A piece of ice floats on water. what does this tell you about the density of ice compared to the density of water?
It tells you that the ice is less dense than the water.
How much does a gram of ice weigh on digital scales?
A gram of ice would weigh the same on digital scales as it would on any other type of scale, which is 1 gram. The weight is measured by the force exerted by the ice on the scale due to gravity.
Which weigh more water or ice?
It depends how much water and how much ice you hae. if you have 1 ice cube and 6 cups of water, the water will weigh more. But, if you have 10 ice cubes and 1/4 cup of water the ice will weigh more.
Is 1 liter of Ice cream equal to 1 kilogram?
No, 1 liter of ice cream is not equal to 1 kilogram. The density of ice cream can vary depending on its ingredients and air content. Generally, the density of ice cream is lower than that of water, which means 1 liter of ice cream will weigh less than 1 kilogram. To accurately convert between volume (liters) and mass (kilograms) for ice cream, you would need to know its specific density.
Is American gal of water heavier than a American gal of ice?
Yes. Ice expands when it freezes. So equal volumes would weigh different amounts, with the ice weighing less.
How much less does ice weigh than water?
8.83% for clear ice. For ice with air inclusions the ice will weigh less.The density of clear ice is 0.917 grams per cubic centimeter.*NOTE: water reaches it maximum density at 4 degrees Celsius. And it's lowest density at 100 degrees Celsius. But it is generally regarded as being 1 gram per cc.
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.
Does a jar of ice weigh more or less when melted?
The weight of a jar of ice will remain the same whether it is in solid or liquid form. When ice melts, it simply changes from a solid to a liquid, but the total weight of the jar and its contents remains constant.
Where on earth do you weigh more and weigh less?
near the poles you weigh more
How much does 21 gallons of ice weigh?
Clear ice weighs about 7.6 lbs per gallon so 21 gallons would weigh about 160 lbs.
What does 2003 tracker weigh?
they weigh less than 3000lbs
Does meat weigh the same after mincing?
its no does it weigh more or less
When an object is submerged will it weigh less or have less mass?
Objects under water seem to weigh less but they have the same mass as they would out of water.
Do you way less on Uranus?
there is less gravity so you weigh less
