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.
