Question

The density of Diamond is 3.51 g/cm3, and the density of platinum is 21.43 g/cm3. If equal masses of diamond and platinum are transferred to equal volumes of water in separated graduated cylinders, which graduated cylinder would have the greatest volume change

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Diamond has lesser density than platinum . So , if we take equal mass of both , the volume of mass of platinum will be far less .

The density of both diamond and platinum are  more than water so both of them will be drowned in water completely . They will not float . On being drowned , platinum will displace lesser volume of water because of its less volume . So volume change in case of platinum mass will be far less . The volume change for diamond will be more because of its bigger size.
