you can measure the mass by putting it on a balance and measure really quickly. the volume you can estimate an approximate answer by putting it in water and measuring its displacement.

To measure the volume of an ice cube a student first melts the ice then measures the volume of the liquid with a graduated cylinder is this procedure accurate?
No. When water freezes and becomes ice, it expands. This causes it to have greater volume. If you were to melt down ice, the volume you would measure afterwards (in liquid form) would be lass than the volume of the actual solid ice.
If a Sample of ice has a volume of 1.0 cm and a mass of 0.9 g what is the density?
ice=0.9167
How many quarts in a pound of ice?
A quart is a measure of volume, a pound is a measure of mass. The two cannot be directly converted unless the density of the substance is known. An mistake often made is equating a fluid ounce (volume) to an ounce (mass) . This is not so.
How dense can ice get?
To calculate the density of any object all you need to do is measure the mass and volume. Density = mass/volumeThe density of ice is less than water(which is why only the top of lakes freeze in the winter). For those that want to find the density while it is floating in water look below: Imagine a cube of ice floating in water. In order for it to float the force of gravity on the ice must equal the force of buoyancy on the ice. The force of buoyancy as described by Archimedes is equal to the mass of water displaced by the ice. Lets say the ice is x cm below the level of the water. then: force buoyancy = (density of water)*volume*gforce buoyancy = (density of water)*(area of ice cube)*x*g where g is the acceleration due to gravity equating this to the force of gravity gives: (density of water)*x = (density ice)*(total height of cube) hope that helps.
When ice melts will the liquid water occupy more or less volume than the ice?
The liquid has the same mass but less volume than the ice.
What tools could you use to measure the mass and volume of a block of ice?
a balance scale
Why ice block cannot sink in water?
because ice has less mass per unit volume as compared to water
What is the density of a large ice block with a mass of 100grams and a volume of 10cm3?
Your mysterious block has a density of 10 grams/cm3 ,and that should tell you right away that it's not ice.
What is the density of A 6 cm3 block of ice with a mass of 4 grams?
The density of the 6 cm3 block of ice is approximately 0.67 grams/cm3. This can be calculated by dividing the mass (4 grams) by the volume (6 cm3).
How you have to measure ice cream?
Ice cream is measured by litres in bulk, or grams by serving
What would a block of ice weigh if it was 5 ft by 7 ft by 12 in thick?
A block of ice with the dimensions listed has a volume of 35ft^3. The density of ice at 32F is about 57.24 lb/ft^3. Multiplying the two together gives a mass of the ice of about 2003.4 lbs.
What is the volume of block of ice measuring 3 meters long 1.5 meters wide and 2 meters high?
The equation for the volume of a rectangular prism (such as a block of ice) is height times width times depth. That would make the volume of this block of ice is 9 meters cubed.
How do you calculate mass of ice?
volume*density
What should be used to measure the volume of an ice cream cone?
You could measure volume in cubic centimeters.
What will the mass of ice be after freezing?
The mass of ice after freezing will be the same as the mass before freezing. The volume however, will be greater as ice than it was as liquid water.
What is the volume of liter of a kilogram of ice at 0 degrees Celsius?
1kg = 1000g ice will have volume: Density = mass /volume Volume = mass / density Volume = 1000/0.92 Volume = 1,086.95ml = 1,087ml 1,087 ml = 1.087 liters.
Explain why an ice cream factory measure with volume?
Volume is used for ice cream as a measure. For example, you can buy a quart or gallon or pint (all units of measure of volume) carton of ice cream. This use of volume measure is better than using other forms, such as weight, for a measure. Weight, for example, is not as good. Different ingredients will weight more or less than others, while volume is set and standard, regarless of the type of ice cream.
