Actually the volume can be expressed in both ways. It is just the more common unit is grams /dm3. This is due to when there are large volumes g/dm3 is more suited as a unit due to 1000g/cm3=1g/dm3.

Can volume be expressed in grams?

No. A volume is a measure with dimensions [L3]. A gram is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and elementary dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information. As a simple mental exercise consider a gram of air and of lead. They will have very different volumes.

Furthermore, density is given in terms of grams per cubic centimetre, or grams per millilitre or similar. Density cannot be expressed in gram or cm.
