The density of diamond is 3.51g/cm^3,and the density of platinum is 21.43g/cm^3.If equal masses of diamond and platinum are transferred to equal volumes of water in separate graduated cylinders,which graduated cylinder would have the greatest volume change? Explain or show with a sample calculation
Answered by Damon
They both sink because they both have density greater than water (about 1 g/cm^3)
Therefore the one with the greater volume will displace a greater volume of water.
If they have the same mass, the one with more volume will be the diamond, because it has lower density.
