If we are talking equal volumes, then a CC of ice weighs less than a CC of water.
If we are talking molar quantity, then they will weight the same, but the ice will have a larger volume.

Ice is less dense than water. That is why it floats. The same mass of water takes up more space as ice. This is because the ice crystals line up to form a lattice while freezing and this takes more space than when the water molecules are the closest at 4 degrees C.

I thought everybody knew that ice is less dense than water, otherwise icebergs would not float, and of course ice in your drink would not float.
Use your eyes. A lot of things can be worked out just by looking.

If you take 1cubic dm of ice and 1cubic dm of water you will find water weigh more,, for that ice icebergs can be seen on the oceans

Of course. That's why ice cubes sink.

the molality of the two are the same.
