A diamond is made of pure carbon. A 1.6-cm³ sample of diamond has a mass of 5.6 g. what is the density of carbon?

d = 3.5 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL, kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D = density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given dа ta:

Mass of diamond = 5.6 g

Volume = 1.6 cm³

Density = ?

Solution:

d = m/v

d = 5.6 g / 1.6 cm³

d = 3.5 g/cm³
