A goofy but probably very simple question

What would be the mass of a cubic centimeter of solid hydrogen?

I ask because it occurred to me last week that the dry ice I was fiddling with weighed substantially more in solid form than as a gas (now there’s a groundbreaking scientific observation!).

I’ve never been strong in chemistry, so what probably amounts to a simple question is beyond my feeble skills in that field, and I throw myself upon the mercy of my more learned peers.

Thanks!

Dave!

(...) Who needs knowledge when you have google? Solid hydrogen has a density of .088 g/cm^3. Which is, incidentally, about 10,000 times heavier than its gaseous form. (URL) Adrian (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
