"mass" = 0.769 "g"

Explanation:

We're asked to find the mass of the diamond, given its density and volume it occupies.

To do this, we can look at the density equation:

"density" = "mass"/"volume"

And since we're solving for the mass, let's rearrange this to solve for mass:

ul("mass" = ("density")("volume")

We know:

  • "density" = 3.26 "g/cm"^3

  • "volume" = 0.326 "cm"^3

The mass is therefore

"mass" = (3.26color(white)(l)"g/"cancel("cm"^3))(0.236cancel("cm"^3)) = color(red)(ulbar(|stackrel(" ")(" "0.769color(white)(l)"g"" ")|)

rounded to 3 significant figures.
