That's going to depend on the size of the sample you have. A larger sample
will have more mass than a smaller sample, much like virtually every other
known substance.
Aerogel is a synthetic porous material derived from a gel, in which the liquid
component of the gel has been replaced with a gas. The result is a solid with
extremely low density and thermal conductivity. It is nicknamed frozen smoke,
solid smoke, solid air or blue smoke owing to its translucent nature and the
way light scatters in the material; however, it feels like expanded polystyrene
(styrofoam) to the touch.
Various samples of aerogel may have densities anywhere between 1 mg/cm3
(less dense than air) to 2 mg/cm3 .

27.3 g is the mass of an aluminum sample with a volume of 10.0 cm3.
'e' = the energy equivalent of a sample of mass 'm' = the mass of the sample of mass 'c' = the speed of light
The quantity that serves as a conversion factor between mass and number of moles is the molecular mass.
Aerogel is 39 times more insulating than the best fiberglass ever made.
Density of a substance = (mass of a sample of the substance) divided by (volume of the same sample)
