Mass cannot be created or destroyed, and will therefore remain constant even when matter changes its state. The volume, on the other hand, can change because volume is a state function (dependent on the state of the system). Mass is an intrinsic property of the system.

Weight and mass are commonly used interchangeably but are actually two different concepts. Weight is the gravitational force acting on a body defined as W=mg, where g is the gravitational constant. On earth, g = 9.81 m/s2, and the correct unit of weight is the Newton. Weight also remains constant with state changes.
