No, mass is not the amount of matter in a given space. It is actually density.
The amount of matter is given space is mass.
Density since ρ=m/v or in words; density is equal to the mass divided by the volume. i.e. amount of matter in a given space.
Since "amount of matter" is measured as an object's mass and "a given space" is measured as volume, the amount of matter in an a given space should equal mass/volume. Mass divided by volume is an object's density. Acceptable units of density include: grams/liters, kilograms/cubic meters, slugs/cubic inch, slugs/cubic foot, and many others.
Volume; mass is a measure of the amount of matter, and volume is a measure of the amount of space.
This is the density. It is given the symbol ρ, the Greek letter rho. It is defined as mass per unit volume
The amount of matter is given space is mass.
The amount of matter is mass. Volume is the amount of space that matter takes up. The amount of matter in a given volume is density.
They are related, sort of. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter - density is a measurement of the amount of matter in a given amount of space.
The amount of matter in a given volume of space is its D-E-N-S-I-T-Y Its Density NOT Volume!

Mass amount of matter in an object; given in units such as gramsVolume amount of space occupied by matter; milliliters (mL) and liters (L) are common units of volume
the amount of matter in a given space; mass per unit volume
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Volume the amount of space an object has.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, and volume is the amount of space something takes up (example, air takes up space)
