What takes up more space 50 pounds of sand or 50 pounds of water?

Sand sinks in water, so it is more dense. Density = mass/volume. Or Volume = Mass/Density. For the same mass, more dense substance will take up less volume.
So the water takes up more space.

Why does water weigh 8 pounds per gallon in liquid and 5 pounds per gallon in Ice?
Your crazy imperial measurements confuse me. Water weighs 1 kilogram per litre. The answer to your question is that ice is less dense than water. This is due to the crystalline structure of ice, which takes up more space per molecule of water than in its liquid form.
Why is a pound of bacon more expensive than a pound of corn?
It takes a lot more energy, water, labour to produce a pound of meat than a pound of corn. It takes pounds of corn and water to feed just one pig.

Which weighs more you or your volume of water?
if you are talking about the same glass that had water in it and THEN froze, then my friend the weight is the same. Ofcourse this is correct only if while freezing, no water spilled out of the glass (because ice takes up more space than water.

What makes water a powerful cause of weathering?
It takes up more space when it freezes
What happens for compressed water?
particles expand hence takes up more space(flattening)
When water has physical changes does the density change?
Yes, we now know that the density of ice is less than that of water. Ice takes up more space than water for a given weight. In fact the density of ice is 7.65 pounds/gallon compared to 8.35 pounds/gallon for water. Therefore, one gallon of ice weighs 7.65 pounds, but 7.65 pounds of water is only 7.65/8.35 = 0.92 gallons of water. Gas also changes but as the tempature changes so does the density.
Does liquid matter or solid matter take up more space?
When it comes to water, ice takes up more space as compared to water. Does this apply to all states of matter? If so, to what else does it apply to?
