Anything that has mass takes up space. Even air has mass.

A mass can have the following effects:

  • It takes a force to accelerate it.
    • Masses produce a gravitational field - they attract other masses.

    -- You could apply a force to a lump of it, measure its acceleration, and

    show that it obeys the formula [ F = M A ] .

    -- You could accelerate it to 75% of the speed of light, then perform the

    above action on it, and show that its mass appears to have increased 15%

    since it was standing still in the lab, which shows that it's obeying the formula

    for the relativistic increase of mass at high speed.

    How can you prove air is matter?

    The classical definition says anything that occupies space is matter. To prove air occupies space we can do a small experiment. Take a balloon and blow air in it. The balloon expands and this proves that air occupies space. And thus we can prove air is matter.

    Why do you need to bring your sample to a constant mass?

    Mass is a property of matter it can not be changed in any experiment. For this reason the wording of your question does not make sense and therefore can not be answered.

    How did your experiment prove or disprove the hypothesis?

    That depends on the result of the experiment. The experiment is a way to test a hypothesis, and it's completely fine if the experiment disproves the hypothesis. Ideally, though, the experiment will support the hypothesis.
