Tar is denser than water, so will weigh more for the same volume.

It depends on a few factors: whether the buckets are covered with a lid, how cold the cold water is, and how hot the hot water is, and when they are weighed. If they are weighed immediately, they should weight about the same. For the sake of argument, let's say that the water are both VERY extreme (very cold, very hot), and that you will be weighing them 24 hours later. With lid on: Cold water expands, so when it warms up, the water will go down a bit, so the hot water will weigh SLIGHTLY more. Without a cover, the cold could win, because the extremely hot water will be throwing off steam, evaporating much faster than the cold one. Hope this helps! (Probably more than you wanted to know, huh? LOL)

A gallon isn't an increment of weight, I am appalled at the people answering that! Tar, I believe, is denser so it would weigh more.

The bucket of tar, same volume, but is denser than water, so there is more of it per unit volume.

Tar, of course. It is thicker than water.
