This is more of a physics explanation, but here we go.
Mass is a measure of how much "matter" is in an object. Weight is the force applied onto an object by gravity. Weight itself can be related to mass like this:
where g is a gravitational constant. For our purposes, it's defined by whatever planet you are on. Following this, we can demonstrate that mass is NOT the same thing as weight if we take two objects of the same mass and put them on different planets.
Let E refer to Earth and F refer to Mars
Following this, we can see clearly that weight is not the same as mass:
If weight was the same thing as mass, the two values would be the same, as the mass of the two objects is the same. But since weight is defined in the context of gravity, they are not.

Questions
Explanation:
The word "science" was obtained from the Latin word "Scire" which means "to know". Hence science is a systematic investigation into the nature of the universe.
Scientific investigations begin with asking questions about the universe. It is this curiosity to know about occurrences in the universe as well as how to solve problems in the universe that leads to fascinating scientific investigations and discoveries.
Answer:
The answer to your question is 8.21 g of H₂O
Explanation:
Data
mas of water = ?
mass of hydrogen = 4.6 g
mass of oxygen = 7.3 g
Balanced chemical reaction
2H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂O
Process
1.- Calculate the atomic mass of the reactants
Hydrogen = 4 x 1 = 4 g
Oxygen = 16 x 2 = 32 g
2.- Calculate the limiting reactant
Theoretical yield = H₂/O₂ = 4 / 32 = 0.125
Experimental yield = H₂/ O₂ = 4.6/7.3 = 0.630
From the results, we conclude that the limiting reactant is Oxygen because the experimental yield was higher than the theoretical yield.
3.- Calculate the mass of water
32 g of O₂ ---------------- 36 g of water
7.3 g of O₂ --------------- x
x = (7.3 x 36) / 32
x = 262.8 / 32
x = 8.21 g of H₂O
