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.
