When measuring the weight or volume of water and ice, it's important to consider their different densities. Ice is less dense than liquid water, which means that a given volume of ice will weigh less than the same volume of water.
To determine the amount of water equivalent to 16 oz (ounces) of ice, we need to consider the density difference. The density of water is approximately 1 gram per milliliter (g/ml), or equivalently, 1 kilogram per liter (kg/L). The density of ice is about 0.92 g/ml, or 0.92 kg/L.
Given that 1 fluid ounce is approximately equal to 29.57 milliliters, we can calculate the equivalent amount of water:
Volume of ice = 16 oz * 29.57 ml/oz ≈ 473.12 ml
To convert the volume of ice into weight, we multiply it by the density of ice:
Weight of ice = 473.12 ml * 0.92 g/ml ≈ 435.06 grams
Therefore, 16 oz of ice is approximately equal to 435.06 grams or 435.06 milliliters of water.
