I don't know what "appears heavier" means. A kilogram of mass is a kilogram of mass. Appearance has nothing to do with it. The cotton is (probably) less dense than the iron and will occupy a larger volume, but that doesn't have anything to do with the vacuum part.
Both 1kg of iron and 1kg of cotton would have the same weight in a vacuum. Weight is determined by mass, which is the same for both objects in this scenario.
1 kg of iron is heavier than 1 kg of cotton because the weight is determined by the mass of the object, not the material it is made of.
Is this a song lyric? Some Buddhist koan? A "which came first" -type riddle ? ? ?
Both cotton and iron will weigh the same in a vacuum because weight is determined by the mass of an object and gravity. Each object weighs 1 kg in this scenario, regardless of the environment.
The weight of the objects is not provided, so it is impossible to determine which is heavier based on the information given.

They both weigh the same, 1 kg
The weight of a body in air is its apparent weight because the body body remains immersed in air . Therefore apparent weight of 1kg cotton and one kg iron is same .But volume of 1 kg cotton is greater than the volume of 1 iron

Iron is heavier because iron is a metal and metals are heavier but silica is not a metal so silica is lighter than iron.

Iron fillings are heavier.
No, atomically Iron is a heavier element
No, iron is heavier than wood.
When we say that 1 kg of iron / cotton, we mean that it is the apparent weight. As they are already displacing air and by Archimedes' Principle they both are acted upon by the buoyant force directly proportional to the weight of air they displaced, and cotton displaces more air, therefore its actual weight is more than actual weight of iron.
