The density of dry air at standard sea level pressure is 1.204 kg/m3 at 20° Celsius. The temperature is important. The density of moist air will vary but is obviously slightly greater than the above number. Actually, the above comment about moist air seems obvious but is wrong, so please read the correct explanation below: Moist Air is Less Dense... As you may have noticed, moist air is less dense than dry air. It may seem reasonable to try to argue against that simple fact based on the observation that water is denser than dry air... which is certainly true, but irrelevant. Solids, liquids and gasses each have their own unique laws, so it is not possible to equate the behavior of liquid water with the behavior of water vapor. The ideal gas law says that a certain volume of air at a certain pressure has a certain number of molecules. That's just the way this world works, and that simple fact is expressed as the ideal gas law, which was shown above in equation 1.
Note that this is the gas law... not a liquid law, nor a solid law, but a gas law. Hence comparisons to a liquid are of little help in understanding what is going on in the air, and may simply result in more confusion.
According to the ideal gas law, a cubic meter of air around you, wherever you are right now, has a certain number of molecules in it, and each of those molecules has a certain weight.
Most of the air is made up of nitrogen molecules N2 with a somewhat lesser amount of oxygen O2 molecules, and then other molecules such as water vapor.
Since density is weight divided by volume, we need to consider the weight of each of the molecules in the air. Nitrogen has an atomic weight of 14, so an N2 molecule has a weight of 28. For oxygen, the atomic weight is 16, so an O2 molecule has a weight of 32.
Now along comes a water molecule, H2O. Hydrogen has an atomic weight of 1. So the molecule H20 has a weight of 18. Notice that a water molecule is lighter weight than either a nitrogen molecule or an oxygen molecule.
Therefore, when a given volume of air, which contains only a certain number of molecules, has some water molecules in it (which are very light weight), it will weight less than the same volume of air without any water molecules.
The density of ice is approximately 0.92 grams per milliliter.
Ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius. That is a speciality of water. At 3.98 degrees Celsius, the density of water is highest before it begins to form ice crystals. Water at this temperature may be a slush of water and ice.
Yes. Frozen ice is less dense than liquid water. That is why ice cubes float in your drink! In fact at positive 4 °C, water is the most dense. Colder than that, and the density decreases, and also warmer than that, the density decreases.
The density of ice at -10 degrees Celsius is approximately 0.917 grams per cubic centimeter.
Water at 0 oC is ice.
The density of ice at 0 degrees Celsius is approximately 0.917 grams per cubic centimeter, while the density of water at the same temperature is about 0.9999 grams per cubic centimeter.
Density of ice at 0 degrees Celsius is 916.8 grams per cubic centimeter or milliliter. The density of fresh water is dependant on the temperature: At 3.98 degrees Celsius the density is 0.999975 grams per milliliter. At 100 degrees Celsius the density is 0.958.35 grams per milliliter.
The density of ice is approximately 0.92 grams per milliliter.

0° Celsius is the temperature at which ice starts to melt.
Ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius on the Celsius scale.
Ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius on the Celsius scale and at 32 degrees Fahrenheit on the Fahrenheit scale.
The density of water increases as it cools from 4 degrees Celsius to 0 degrees Celsius. At 4 degrees Celsius, the density of water is 999.972 kg/mΒ³, and at 0 degrees Celsius the density is 999.8395 kg/mΒ³.
The density of ice at -10 degrees Celsius is approximately 0.917 grams per cubic centimeter.
1kg = 1000g ice will have volume: Density = mass /volume Volume = mass / density Volume = 1000/0.92 Volume = 1,086.95ml = 1,087ml 1,087 ml = 1.087 liters.
