What has more mass 1 kg of lead or 1 kg of feathers?
Neither!!! They both have the same mass at 1 kg. However, the feathers will occupy a greater volume.
Why does a kilogram of lead have a bigger density than a kilogram of feathers?
The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. A given volume of lead has more mass than a given volume of feathers. In common usage mass often refers to weight, but that is not a very exact usage of it. For this question it may be useful however to think of a given weight of lead per volume and a given weight of feathers.If you have a kg of lead, that is a small piece, a kg of feathers is a large amount.So for a given volume, say a cubic centimeter, the weight of lead is much more than the weight of feathers.
What has more mass 10 kilograms of feathers or 6 kilograms of lead?
10 kg is greater than 6 kg. kg is the unit of mass. Hence feather has more mass than lead in this case.
Why does a kg of sand take up less space then a kg of feathers?
Because sand is a more dense substance than feathers - it has a larger mass-to-volume ratio.
Which has more mass 1 kilogram of feathers or 1 kilogram of bricks?
Neither. They both have the same mass. "kg" is a measurement of mass. If you meant volume (the space taken up by the object), the feathers would have the greater volume.

Why does 1kg of lead be less awkward to carry around than 1kg of feathers?
lead is much more dense than feathers, so 1 kg of lead occupies much less space (volume) than 1 kg of feathers
Why would 1 kg of lead be less awkward to carry around than 1 kg of feathers?
Although they both weigh the same, the kg of feathers would be much more unwieldy, due to its volume. If the feathers were being carried in an open container, on a windy day, when you reached your destination, you would most likely have many less feathers than when you started!

Lead is denser than feathers, therefore it would be smaller for the same weight. (feathers may be safer in the long run due to health effects ;) )
What is the volume of 4.56 kilogram?
4.56 kg of what? 4.56 kg of hydrogen has a different volume than 4.56 kg of lead.
Which is heaviera kg of stones or a kg of feathers?
It's a trick question relying on your preconception that feathers are lighter. They of course weigh the same a kg of versus a kg of. Of course it will take a heck of lot more feathers.
Why is a kg of lead heavier than a kg of feathers and flour?
It is not. They have exactly the same mass and so must have the same weight.
