  1. they both will be same


  2. The cup with the water would have a slightly higher density than the cup with the ice, assuming that they had the same volume.  Note that ice floats on water, so the density of atoms in the ice is lower than the density of atoms in the water.  Therefore, the density of the oxygen atoms bound to hydrogen ( oxygen dihydride) is higher  in liquid water than in ice even though they have the same ratio of hydrogen to oxygen, i.e., 2:1.

  3. They would be the same for one simple reason  : ice is simply water in its solid state. Water is a compound substance, and all compound substances have a proportionate amount of atoms. In the case of water, its 2 hydrogens to 1 oxygen

    So basically, liquid gas or solid, it's still water, and water always has 2 atoms of hydrogen to 1 atom of oxygen.
