A gram is a measure of mass. A cubic centimetre (cc) is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
If you are not convinced, consider a cc of air. How many grams? Next consider a cc of lead. How many grams?
The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion.
Some people still believe that there is a conversion in relation to pure water but that is only approximately true. Until 1964 (nearly 50 year ago!) a litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at 4 degrees Celsius and at a pressure of 760 millimetres of Mercury. With that definition a conversion would have been valid - but only for pure water and only under those conditions. In any case that definition of a litre was abandoned in favour of 1 litre =1000 cubic centimetres.
In fact the density of pure water, at 4 deg C and 760 ml of mercury is 999.9720 kg/metre3
So 1 cc = 1 gram, approximately, and that is for pure water under very specific conditions. The density of liquid water varies considerably, so this approximation cannot be used in general.

How many pounds of hydraulic oil per gallon?
7.414 pounds/gallon. Generally hydraulic oil is given as 0.89 gm/cc and 1 gm/cc = 8.33 lbs/gal.
How much does 550 cubic centimeters weigh?
assuming water with density 1 gm/cc 550 cc = 550 gm
How many cc is 127 gm?
The 'cc' (cubic centimeter) is a unit of volume, whereas the 'gm' (gram) is a unit of mass ... (often understood as the weight). They are not directly convertible. A volume of some number of 'cc' may contain more or less grams of mass, depending on what the substance in it is. For example, 1cc of water contains 1gm of mass, but 1 cc of mercury contains almost 13gm of mass (and weighs 13 times as much as a cc of water).
How many cc is in one liter?
1,000 cc
How many cc equa liter?

How do you measure 100cm cubed of oxygen?
100 cc of 02: 22.4 L = 2 x 16 gm = 32 gm 1 L = 1000 cc = 32 gm/22.4 = 1.43 gm 100 cc = 0.1 x 32 / 22.4 = 0.143 gm
250 mg is equal to how many cc's?
CC, meaning cubic centimeters, or cm3 can not be converted to milligrams, as milligrams are a unit of weight, without a conversion factor. You see, 1 cc of gold is more milligrams than 1 cc of cotton, or 1 cc of air in weight. Therefore, unless you know what substance you are converting from cc to mg, you can not do a conversion from size to weight.
How much does 550 cubic centimeters weigh?
assuming water with density 1 gm/cc 550 cc = 550 gm
