Either mass (approximated via weight) or volume can be the right thing to do. In theory you could also go by number of particles (measured in mol).

Agreed, if it's about 'is this the case' especially in home freezer context then it's volume that's interesting: ice cube tray sized volumes. (But also are the resultant cubes the same volume? Presumably not.)

If it's 'yes this does happen, why?' then it seems right to try same mass, to test that theory.
