Is 1 Liter of Ice Heavier Than 1 Liter of Water?

Discover the surprising truth about the weight of ice and water in this Q&A video.

96 views

1 liter of water is heavier than 1 liter of ice. When water freezes, it expands, meaning the same mass of water will occupy more volume as ice. Therefore, 1 liter of ice will weigh less than 1 liter of liquid water.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Why does ice float on water? Ice floats on water because it is less dense than liquid water due to its molecular structure.
  2. What is the density of ice compared to water? The density of ice is about 0.92 g/cm³, while the density of liquid water is approximately 1.0 g/cm³.
  3. How does temperature affect the weight of water? As water temperature increases, its weight remains the same, but the volume may change slightly due to thermal expansion.
