It doesn't weigh more. Water is more dense than ice. When water freezes, the molecules clump together. However, the molecules have space between each other, thus allowing ice to float on water.

∙ 15y agoit doesn't. as a liquid forms into a solid it forms more symmetrical patterns, and therefore its density increases, however there is still the same number of particles per unit mass. also this doesn't apply to water which becomes less dense when just frozen, hence ice floats.

∙ 12y agoWater is the only naturally occurring substance that is less dense in it's solid form.
Waters maximum density is reached at 4°C (40°F). As it cools below that temperature it becomes less dense. Water is different from most other substances because of hydrogen bonding because of hydrogen bonding. A water molecule is made from one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, joined with covalent bonds. these molecules are also attracted to each other by weaker chemical bonds (hydrogen bonds) between the positively-charged hydrogen atoms and the negatively-charged oxygen atoms of neighboring water molecules. As water cools below 4°C, the hydrogen bonds adjust to hold the negatively charged oxygen atoms apart.this causes the water to become less dence and expand.

∙ 14y agoIf you have an object suspended by a scale and lower it into water, the weight shown on the scale will decrease by the weight of the volume of water equal to the volume of the object. The water is supporting that weight; that is bouyancy. If the object weighs less than water it displaces it will not fully submerge, but will float once it has displaced the volume of water that equals its weight.

∙ 11y agoThey weigh more in air because they displace a certain amount of water which has its own weight. The difference between these two weights is the relative weight of the object in water. A steel ship floats on water because the amount of water it displaces is greater than the weight of the steel.

Does frozen food weigh the same as thawed food?
Yes.
How water might have two different densities?
Basicly, liquid water is more dense then frozen water. That's why ice floats on water!
A stone weighs 9Newtons in air what does it weigh in water?
Need more info. Either the volume or density of the stone. From the info given all we know is that it will weigh less in the water than in the air.
How much does a 16 Oz bottle of dirt weigh?
No. In cooking we use dry measure and liquid measure and they are not interchangeable. If you wanted equal amounts of water and dirt you would have to weigh them for them to be the same because water is more dense it weighs more than dirt.
Why did my frozen soda and frozen orange juice melt before frozen water?
The melting point of the ingredients in your drinks have different values, water tends to be the last part of a drink or drinks to melt. For example Orange juice will start to melt before pure water, because it has started to melt first it has the abilty to take in more heat over a lesser surface area and the liquid will help it to melt faster as well.
Does frozen water weigh more?
yes!
Does a liquid weigh more after freezing or boiling?
Obviously frozen water. Its a solid after being frozen so it has become a solid. Actually it weighs the same I have conducted this experiment for my science fair and found that they weigh the same.
Do frozen turkeys weigh more than fresh?
A frozen turkey does not weigh more than fresh. A 15-lb frozen turkey will weigh 15 lbs. when it is thawed.
Does a pound of water frozen weigh a pound?
Water will stay the same weight when it is frozen, it still has the same molecules that it started with
What is heaver water or ice if a liter weighs 1 kilogram how much is a liter of water frozen weigh?
They weigh the same
Why does water weigh less when frozen?
Water expands slightly when if freezes (due to hydrogen bonding) and the resulting ice is less dense than water.(Actually, the water still weighs the same- it just takes up more space when frozen)
Does frozen fish weigh more than fresh fish?
yes, it contains more water and locked air in the ice
Does frozen fish weight more the thawed fish?
Fish will weigh less after it is thawed because it loses some water when it is thawed.
Do frozen peas weigh more than unfrozen?
Yes, because the water that is frozen inside the pea is heavier and harder that a cooked pea, which has less water in it. If you just compare a package of uncooked and cooked peas, you'll feel the difference.
Does orange juice weigh more after being frozen?
it weighs the same
Does the earth weigh more after it snows?
No..Snow is frozen moisture, which means it was present as water before it became snow, so no change in weight is possible.
Weight differences between frozen and non-frozen meat?
Meat will always weigh the same whether thawed or frozen. This is will hold true unless the water from the meat will be drained during the thawing process. It will then weigh lighter than its frozen state.
