WHEN A GALLON IS MORE THAN A GALLON
A gallon of water frozen would fill a greater space than a gallon of water in u fluid state, for the reason that water in becoming solid expands about one-ninth of its volume or bulk.

Water con tracts when freezing until it sinks to 40 degrees, and then it expands as ice is formed.
