It’s been many years since school but I thought a gram was the weight of 1 cc of H2O at 72°F.

Those do weigh the same, however that volume of water is not the definition of a gram. The definition of a gram would be derived from the standard kilogram.

That defines what a cc is. How do you know when you have exactly one gram of water?
