Diamonds are measures in carats, and 1 carat = 0.200 g. The density of diamond is 3.51 g/cubic centimeters.
The volume of a diamond is found to be 2.8 mL. What is the mass of a diamond in carats? |||1 ml = 1 cubic centimeter
2.8 ml = 2.8 cubic centimeters
density = mass / volume
3.51 g/mL = (mass)/(2.8mL)
(mass, grams) = 9.83 grams
9.83 grams * 1carat/.200 grams = 49.15 carats|||Also, here's a website on precious stones, hopefully this will help you too: http://my-precious.mobi.
