The question, as stated, cannot be answered sensibly. A square inch is a measure of area, with dimensions [L2]. A gram is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

As a simple mental exercise, consider a thin sheet of metal 1" x 1" and then compare its mass to a cube of the same metal:1 " x 1" x 1". Both peices are 1 sq inch but the mass of the cube will be much greater - how much greater will depend on how thin the sheet is.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
