There can be no equivalence.
A gram is a measure of mass. A cubic decimetre = 1 litre 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 litre of air. How many grams? Next consider a litre of Mercury. 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.
Many people believe that there is an exact conversion for pure water: that is not true. It is only an approximation and that has been the case since 1964 - FIFTY YEARS AGO - when the definition of the litre was changed.

Which gases is lighter than air?
All the gases is too much ! But some examples are: Arsine AsH3 :3,29 g/dm3 Nitrogen dioxide NO2 :3,4 g/dm3 Carbon dioxide CO2 :1,87 g/dm3 Chlorine Cl :3,04 g/dm3 Fluorine F :1,59 g/dm3 The density of pure air is 1,2754 g/dm3 at standard pressure (100 kPa) and 0 0C. i dont care.
Density = Mass/Volume, what is the density of Sulfur Dioxide in g/dm3?
1.434 g/cm3
How do you convert dm3 into something else?
1 decimetre cubed = 1 litre.
Please give me Density of some substances?
Examples for densities: Solid - water - noble gasCopper has a density of 8950 kg/m3 = 8.95 kg/dm3 = 8.95 g/cm3.Water has a density of 1000 kg/m3 = 1000 g/L = 1.000 kg/dm3 = 1.000 kg/L = 1.000 g/cm3 = 1.000 g/mL.Helium has a density of 0.1785 kg/m3 = 0.1785 g/L = 0.0001785 kg/dm3 = 0.0001785 kg/L =0.0001785 g/cm3 = 0.0001785 g/mL.
What is the mass of 39.6 dm3 of argon gas collected at STP?
The molar volume of any ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP) is 22.4 L/mol. Converting 39.6 dm3 to liters gives 39.6 L. To find the mass of argon gas, we calculate the number of moles using the ideal gas equation (PV = nRT) and then multiply by the molar mass of argon.
