What is the term for the amount of matter in a given volume?

Volume
Mass
Pressure
Density

The correct answer is: Density

Density is the term for the amount of matter in a given volume. Volume is the measure of the amount of space an object occupies, and therefore does not take into account the amount of matter present. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, but not necessarily in a given volume. Pressure is the amount of force applied to a given area, also not directly related to the amount of matter present in a given volume. Overall, density is the most specific and accurate term for this concept.
