Which is heavier kg of gold or 10000 of copper?
The question as I heard it years ago was phrased, "Which is heavier a pound of gold or a pound of feathers?" Gold, being a precious metal, is weighed on the Troy system, which uses a wimpy pound and a wimpy ounce. Feathers are measured on the avoirdupois system, which has 16 full ounces in a pound. Ah, but you asked about the kg! As far as I know, a kg is a kg. So ten thousand grams of copper are heavier than one thousand grams of gold. (Technically, a kg is mass rather than weight, but that is another problem.)

1 pound of pure cotton is heavier than 1 pound of gold why?
It is not not correct that one pund of pure cotton weighs over one pound of pure gold because pounds is a measurement of wight. However, a measurement of mass, like grams, could make it seem like this because mass is often confused with weight. Weight would be different on another planet because the gravity is pulling you down more. However, mass, a measure of desity and inertia, would stay the same. A pound of cotton is heavier than a pound of gold as the pure cotton is weighed by avoirdupois pound. That consists of 16 ounces. whereas gold being a metal is weighed by troy pound. Its equivalent to 12 ounces.
Which is heavier 1 cm cubed of cotton or 1 cm cubed of gold?
1cm3 of gold is heavier than 1cm3 of cotton. This is because gold is much more dense than cotton; though the cotton and gold both take up 1cm3, the gold is much more dense, and therefore has a higher mass than the cotton.

Which is heavier an ounce of gold or an ounce of iron?
Precious metals like gold and silver are weighed using the Troy system where there are 12 Troy ounces in a Troy pound and each oz. consists of approximately 31.1 grams. Most other items in English-speaking countries are weighed using the Avoirdupois system where there are 16 Avoirdupois ounces in each Avoirdupois pound and each oz. consists of approximately 28.35 grams. Consequently, a Troy pound = 373.2 grams and an Avoirdupois pound = 453.6 grams. So, an ounce of gold is heavier than and ounce of iron, but a pound of iron is heavier than a pound of gold.
