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 a block of ice, you can submerge it in water and measure the displacement of water. The mass of the ice block can be measured using a scale.
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.
No, this procedure is not accurate for measuring the volume of the ice cube. When the ice melts, it will take up less space than when it was in solid form, leading to an incorrect volume measurement. It is better to measure the volume of the ice cube directly using a ruler or a caliper.
ice=0.9167
The liquid has the same mass but less volume than the ice.
Ice density is 0,9167 g/cm3 at oC.
