3.5gcm3

Explanation:

To calculate the density, we'll use the formula below:

  • Usually, density will have units of gmL when dealing with a liquid or units of gcm3 when dealing with a solid.

  • The mass has units of grams, g.

  • The volume can have units of mL or cm3

We are given the mass and the volume, both of which have good units. All we have to do is plug the given values into the equation:

Density=1.76g0.5cm3

Therefore the diamond has a density of 3.5gcm3.
