To find the mass of the synthetic diamond, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{mass} = \text{density} \times \text{volume} \]
Given:
- Density = 3 grams per cubic centimeter
- Volume = 8 cubic centimeters
Now plug in the values:
\[ \text{mass} = 3 , \text{g/cm}^3 \times 8 , \text{cm}^3 = 24 , \text{grams} \]
Thus, the mass of the synthetic diamond is 24 grams.
