Question

The volume of ice _________ when it melts.

Answer 1

1. In melting, the ice gets converted into water.
2. $Density=\frac{mass}{volume}$
3. $volume=\frac{mass}{density}$
4. The density of ice is less than that of water.
5. As ice converts to water its density increases so its volume decreases.

Hence, the volume of ice decreases when it melts.
