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 many ccs are in a pound?
One pound is 454 gm. of water. This is the same as 454 cc.
What is density of PA66?
It is 1.07 gm/cc for amorphous type.. and 1.25 gm/cc for crystalline.
What is the density of Olovine?
3.25 gm/cc I believe.
How many cubed centimeters are in one gram of gold?
The density of gold is 19.2 gm/cc.The reciprocal density is 1/19.2 = 0.052083 cc/gm (rounded)
How many grams are 30 milliliters?
30 ml are 30 gm and also 30 cc.
How many cc is 800 gm?
This is not a proper conversion. Cubic centimeters (cc) is a measure of volume. Grams (g), kilograms (kg) and milligrams (mg) are measures of weight or mass.
What is the relative density of reinforced steel?
7.85 gm/cc
How do you measure 100cm cubed of oxygen?
You can measure 100 cm³ of oxygen using a graduated cylinder or a syringe. Simply fill the container with oxygen until it reaches the 100 cm³ mark.
