Space is hardly uniform. It varies wildly in density (although it is still pretty empty).
Here are some sources from scientific journals:

The amount of matter in given space?
This is a very unspecific question, the amount of matter in a given space depends on what's in that space, and how much of it there is (as well as how dense it is).
Is volume the measure of the amount of matter in an object?
No volume is how much space an object takes up. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.
What is the amount of space an object takes up called?
By definition, volume is the space that an object occupies, or takes up. In Chemistry, volume is often measured in gallons, liters, or milliliters.
What is volume weight and density?
volume is how much space is in an object (an object with more volume would be bigger) weight is how heavy an object feels due to gravity (an object with more weight would be harder to lift) density is how much matter is in an amount of space (an object with more density would weigh as much as an object with less density but in a smaller space/volume)
How much money would you have if you were given 1 and that dollar amount doubled over 1 year?
Two dollars.
The amount of matter in given space?
This is a very unspecific question, the amount of matter in a given space depends on what's in that space, and how much of it there is (as well as how dense it is).
What is the difference between volume and mass?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, and volume is the amount of space something takes up (example, air takes up space)
The measure of how much matter is in a given space?
mass is the answer
What is the measure of how much matter is given space?
mass
The difference between volume and mass?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Volume the amount of space an object has.
What is a measure of matter the amount in a given amount of space?
is a measure of the amount of matter in a given amount of space
Is volume the measure of the amount of matter in an object?
No volume is how much space an object takes up. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.
Does gases take up a definite amount of space?
No. Any amount of gas, no matter how little, always takes up as much space as you let it.
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given what?
Volume or space.
What is the amount of mass in a given volume of matter?
mass is how much "stuff" its made up of.
What is the amount of space an object takes up called?
By definition, volume is the space that an object occupies, or takes up. In Chemistry, volume is often measured in gallons, liters, or milliliters.
A cinder block floats in mercury and sinks in water?
this is because mercury is much denser than water . this means that there is more of it in a given amount of space then there is water in the same amount of space
