For this case we have that by definition, the density is given by:


d = \frac {M} {V}

Where:

M: It is the mass of the diamond

V: It is the volume of the diamond

According to the data of the statement we have:


d = 3.5 \frac {g} {cm ^ 3}\\M = 0.10 \ g

So the volume is:


V = \frac {M} {d}\\V = \frac {0.10 \ g} {3.5 \frac {g} {cm ^ 3}}\\V = 0.02857\\V = 0.03 \ cm^3

Thus, the volume of the diamond is approximately
0.03 \ cm ^ 3

Answer:


0.03 \ cm ^ 3
