If you want to know the volume of a diamond when you have its weight, you need to remember 2 things :
1°) 1 metric carat=0,2 g
2°) The average density of a diamond is 3,517
(which means, for any given volume, it weighs 3,517 times the weight of the same volume of water. 1cm3 of water weighs 1 g. 1 cm3 of diamond weighs an average 3,517 g, or 17.585 carats)
If (C) is the number of carats, and (D) is the density of the diamond (usually given by the certificate), then the volume (V)can be calculated as follows :
V=(Cx0,2)/D
For instance, a diamond of 2 carats weighs (2x0,2)=0,4 g.
Its volume will be : 0,4/3,517=0,1137 cm3
Roughly speaking, the equivalent would be a cube of approximately 5 mm in length (0.4845 to be precise), or a sphere of 6 mm in diameter.

∙ 13y agoIf it's like a small rock, you take a graduated cylinder and fill it up to a whole number, and then record that number. Then, you gently drop the rock in there and record the final volume. Then you subtract.

∙ 14y agoYou will have to do an experiment to find out, you will need, a measuring container, an extra cup, the diamond ring and water. 1)Assuming that the measuring container is 500ml, then fill it up to the brim, (beware of parallax error.) 2)Then drop the ring into the full 500ml container and some water should fall out, after that, get the ring out using tongs or tweezers and check the amount of water left in the container. 3)Get the 500ml minus the remaining amount in the container, the answer will be the volume of the ring.

∙ 10y agoIf the rock is an irregular shape, then the "displacement measurement" approach might be taken. An irregular object that is more dense than water will sink when put in a container of the liquid. The trick is to find out how much water is displaced when submerging the rock in the water. Marks on the side of the container to indicate starting level and the end level with the rock submerged are needed. Selecting a uniform (regular) container sufficiently tall and into which the rock "just fits" is a must for accuracy. First, find the cross-sectional area of the container. (The container was specified as being uniform, meaning it's a cylinder or a square or a rectangle. A "regular" shape. Mark the side where the water level is without the rock. Sink the rock. Mark the new level. Find the difference in the levels. Multiply that distance by the cross-sectional area of the container and you've go the volume of your rock. Archimedes thought this one up back in the day.

Is a simulant diamond a real diamond?
No, a simulant diamond is a fake diamond.
In what type of matter are atoms most tightly packed?
Matter that has a definite shape and volume is in solid state.
Which or what is the hardest steel chalk soap wood rubber diamond or plastic?
Diamond is the hardest.
What can scrach a diamond?
Another diamond can scratch a diamond.
Can a diamond scratch another diamond?
A diamond is the hardest known substance, as stated on the Mohs scale. Yes, a diamond can scratch another diamond. Diamond-tipped tools are what workers use to cut and facet diamond stones.
What country has the highest volume of diamond mines?
According to my research, the country that has the highest volume of diamond output is Russia, contributing 22% of the world's diamonds.
How do you work out the volume of a diamond prism?
volume=area of the cross section x the length
What is the volume in mL of a diamond with a mass of 25.1 g?
The average density of diamond is 3.51g/cm3. Density = mass/volume. Volume = mass/density = (25.1g)/(3.51g/cm3) = 7.15cm3. 1cm3 = 1mL, therefore the volume in mL is 7.15mL.
Is there a Pokemon Diamond and Pearl adventure volume 9?
No
The density of pure diamond is 3.5 gcm3 The mass of a diamond is 0.25 grams Calculate its volume?
Density = Mass/Volume so Volume = Mass/Density Vol = 0.25/3.5 = 0.071429 cubic cm
Which physical property would you need to measure or calculate to tell a diamond from a zircon?
Mass, volume, and density
What physical property would you need to measure or calculate to tell a diamond from a zircon?
mass, volume, and density. i think.?
What makes up diamond?
Diamond is made of carbon atoms bonded to each other where 1 carbon atom is boded to four other carbon atoms forming a tetrahedron which continues throughout the volume.
What is the Diamond cutting capital of the world?
There is no such official, internationally recognized designation. By volume and dollar value, probably Ramat Gan in Israel.
What is the volume in milliliters of a diamond with a mass of 15.1 grams?
4.3 millilitres.4.3 millilitres.4.3 millilitres.4.3 millilitres.
How many milliliter is 180g?
The volume depends on the density of the material that has a mass of 180 grams. 180 grams of water, with a density of 1.00, has a volume of 180 milliliters. A 180 gram Diamond with a density of 3.52 has a volume of 51.1 ml.
Are diamonds heavier than zircons?
Diamond gems are lighter than a cubic zirconia gem of the same volume. The density of diamond is 5.3 g/cm3, while the density of cubic zirconia ranges from 5.6-6.0 g/cm3.
