That depends on the substance being studied. "Given unit volume" means 1 liter, for instance, or one cubic centimeter - the specific volume being discussed. Once cubic cm of water would have less matter (is lighter) than one cubic cm of lead (is heavier.) Think about it this way - the more tightly packed a substance is, the more matter there is in one cubic cm of that substance. This is called the substance's DENSITY. If this is a hw problem you're trying to solve, you multiply the volume of substance by that substance's density (which you should find in a table or whatever.) Mind your units!
