How many fluid ounces per pound of ice?

Answer 1

The conversion from the weight of ice cubes to the volume of water they produce when melted is quite straightforward, as ice (frozen water) and liquid water have a near 1:1 mass-to-volume ratio. This means that the weight of the ice in ounces (avoirdupois ounces) will be approximately the same as the volume of water in fluid ounces when the ice melts.

Answer 2

The weight would depend on the density of the ice cream since a fluid ounce is a unit of volume while weight is a measure of mass and local gravity. Real ice cream (not the supermarket or sugary fast food crap sold in the U.S.) is less dense than water, so four fl oz. of ice cream should weigh less than four fl oz. of water. U.S. ice cream, being mostly sugar and water, would have the same or greater density than water, so should weigh more than water per unit of volume.

Also, volume of a fluid depends on temperature and pressure.

Answer 3

There are 16 fluid ounces in a pound, so one pound of ice would be equivalent to 16 fluid ounces.

Answer 4

16 fluid ounces

Answer 5

Ice is not fluid.
