Obviously I know ice is just solid water but would ice be heavier than the same volume of water if you account for the expansion of water as it freezes?
I’m only curious because I know that as water freezes it traps air molecules inside its crystalline structure so I was wondering if it trapped enough to cause a distinguishable difference in weight between the two states.
Well, that’s the answer in terms of comparative density, but in terms of comparative weight, I’m wondering if the ice would indeed be heavier since it commonly traps additional gases in the freezing process.
So yeah, I’m not entirely sure if OP was talking more about weight or density.
