Graduated Diamond

Graduated Diamond
Density of diamond and lead? HELP!?

The density of diamond is 3.63 g/cm^3 and the density of lead is 11.0 g/cm^3. If equal masses of diamond and lead are transferred to equal volumes of water in separate graduated cylinders, which graduated cylinder would have the greatest volume change? Explain.

The diamond would have the greatest volume change because of the lower density. the lower density means that it requires a larger volume of material to generate the same weight, meaning that when placed in water, it would displace more water than the lead, leading to a larger volume change.
