if you put water in a test tube and an ice cube and messure the volume then messure te volume again after the icecube melts, will the volume increase or decrease?

Decrease as density of ice is less than that of water so volume of ice will be more as vol. is inversely proportional to density

decrease coz the when the water is ice cubes then the the hydrogen bond take maximum space thus increasing the volume and when the bonds break due to melting the overall volume decreases.

volume decreases, ice is less dense than water due to the arrangement of the water molecules, when the ice melts the overall volume will decrease.

I want to say it says the same. But don't quote me.
It's has some thing to do with the ice cubes floating & displacement.
Plus water exspands as it warms
There is so much junk in my head & that is what popped up.

decrease as being a solid ice has a higher density than liquid water
