The conversion between grams (g) and cubic centimeters (cm^3) depends on the density of the substance in question. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, so the relationship between grams and cubic centimeters varies depending on the substance. For water, which has a density of 1 g/cm^3, 1 gram is equal to 1 cubic centimeter. However, for other substances with different densities, the conversion will be different.

Mercury has the largest density of common liquids, at 13.6 g/cm3, so 1 cm3 of mercury would have the largest mass. This is due to its high atomic weight and closely packed atoms in its liquid state. Other common liquids like water (1 g/cm3) and alcohol (0.79 g/cm3) have lower densities and thus lower masses for the same volume.
Density = Mass/Volume = 16.5 g / 2.2 cm3 = 7.5 g/cm3
Well, sweetheart, to find the volume of that rock, you divide the mass by the density. So, 600 g divided by 3.00 g/cm3 gives you a volume of 200 cm3. Voila, you've got your answer!
3 g/10 cm3 = 0.3 g/cm3 and this is the density, since density is expressed as mass/volume.
Assuming the wood has a volume of 200 cm3 and not 200 cm as stated, its density is 120 g/200 cm3 =120/200 g/cm3 = 0.6 g/cm3
