Weight is specific to a planet's gravity, whereas mass is the same no matter where you are. Weight is classified as a force, and is a product of an objects mass and local gravity. Mass is purely the amount of something you have, and is measured in kilograms. Wieght is measured in pounds or Newtons.

If you travel to the moon, you will weigh less because of lower gravity, but you will have the same mass.

Why must you find the mass of a container holding a liquid before you find the density of a liquid?

What you really need to know is the mass of the liquid. You'll most likely measure it by weighing the liquid when it's in the container. The weight you measure will include the weight of the container, and you'll have to subtract that away in order to know
