    Density can be calculated using the following rule:

    density = mass / volume

    Therefore,

    volume = mass / density

    For diamond:

    we have mass = 0.5 grams and density = 3.51 g / cm^3

    Substituting in the rule, we can calculate the volume of diamond as follows:

    volume = 0.5 / 3.51 = 0.14245 cm^3

    For graphite:

    we have mass = 0.5 grams and density = 2.25 g / cm^3

    Substituting in the rule, we can calculate the volume of graphite as follows:

    volume = 0.5 / 2.25 = 0.2223 cm^3
