yes, the mass of water/ice does not change during a phase change, only the density and thus the volume. Law of Conservation of Matter.

More than 15.

If it's in a bag, nothing can evaporate to the outside the bag.
so YES you would have 15 lbs of water, once you dry the condensed water outside the bag.
When a bag "sweats", that's the water vapor in the air around the bag condensing to water droplets, not the water inside the bag escaping.

You will at first, but after water evaporation the weight of the water would go down. And you wouldn't have 15 POUNDS of water. Liquids are measured in Liters.

yes. Thats like asking which weighs more a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks, if you crushed the bricks into sand you would have a ton of sand. 15 pounds is 15 pounds.

When the matter changes its form into solid-liquid-gas ,the change in volume only takes place and no change in mass or weght.So,it will be same 15 lbs.

Yeah. I think so.
Which is more 15 pounds of feathers or 15 pounds of rocks?

Yes. But the water will evaporate sooner or later, leaving you with less water.

no, because there is a lot of air, more like 10 pounds of water.

Yes. It's called conservation of mass.
