take in consideration the density of air then you have mass/ volume= density
if you want to solve for the mass then (density)( volume) = mass
air density =1.293 kg/m^3

Do you have access to a really accurate balance? If so, determine the mass of an empty balloon, then fill the balloon with a liter of air. The full balloon should have about a gram's worth of extra mass.

You could fill a balloon with a liter of air, and compare its weight to that of an uninflated balloon. I'm not exactly sure how you'd make sure you put exactly one liter of air in the balloon, though. Maybe a vacuum pump would be useful.

Weigh a 1l glass bottle, stopper with an air valve. Vacuum the air out, and reweigh it. The difference is the weight of the air.
