This is false. For most practical purposes, ie 'on planet Earth,' the terms 'mass' and 'weight' mean the same thing. Off-planet, mass just equals mass, as weight is a function of gravity.
Density is defined as mass per unit volume, not mass per unit weight. It is a measure of how much mass is contained in a specific volume of a substance.
No. You have defined the "density" of the substance, not its weight.Added:"Density" is also called "specific mass"Weight and mass are commonly speaking the same, but strictly speaking 'mass' is rather an amount of matter,and 'weight' is the measured gravitational force (heaviness, measured on a balance) of that mass.(A mass of 1 kg will 'weight' also 1 kg on earth but does not 'weight' 1 kg on the moon, there it's about 150 g due to lower gravity!)
A substance with high density will be heavy because density is a measure of the mass of the substance per unit volume. High density means there is a greater amount of mass packed into a defined volume, resulting in a heavier weight relative to its size.
Changing the mass or volume of an object changes its density. Density is defined as the mass of an object divided by its volume, so if either the mass or volume changes, the density will change accordingly.
That quantity is known as the "weight" of the substance, and it depends on how much of the substance you have.
weight is different in different gavities but mass is not, volume is not involved
weight is different in different gavities but mass is not, volume is not involved
2nd answer: In fact, weight = mass if the massive object is on Earth.
They are different in non-homogeneous mixtures. Here's an example. If you put a few drops of water in a balloon, the contents are 99.9% (or so) water by weight and 99.9% (or so) air by volume.
Weight divided by volume is density. Usually it is expressed as mass divided by volume. That is why a unit for density will be something like grams/liter, because mass is on the top and volume on the bottom.
Density is defined as mass per unit volume, not mass per unit weight. It is a measure of how much mass is contained in a specific volume of a substance.

Density can be calculated from molecular weight using the formula density = (molecular weight) / (molar volume). Molar volume is the volume occupied by one mole of the substance and can be calculated using the ideal gas law or experimental data. Dividing the molecular weight by the molar volume gives the density of the substance.
Weight vs volume. PLace object in container already full of water. Measure volume of liquid displaced. weight object. weight divided by volume equals density
Density is more commonly defined as mass per unit volume. However, it is also possible to define it as weight per unit volume.Density is more commonly defined as mass per unit volume.

A substance with high density will be heavy because density is a measure of the mass of the substance per unit volume. High density means there is a greater amount of mass packed into a defined volume, resulting in a heavier weight relative to its size.
