I'm not sure what you mean, but weighing by difference is when you:
- Take the weight of an empty container, fill the container with a substance.
- Take the weight of the container holding the substance.
- Subtract the empty container's mass from the mass of the container and the substance.
- You will then get the mass of the substance.
The result is what is called the "Tare" weight. That is the weight of the contents ONLY .
And that would not be the mass of the substance,,,it would be the weight. Mass is a determination of how much space is taken up by the substance.

What the difference between a balance and a scale?
A balance has two pans, you put measured weights in one and the item you are weighing in the other and when the balance is level you sum the known weights to get the unknown's weight. A scale is an instrument with a readout (digital or analog) from which you read the weight of an object places on (in) the weighing surface/dish.
