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.
