The rock candy is irregularly shaped and water soluble, how would you measure the density without damaging the mass of the rock candy?

ok, the candy is water soluble. maybe you can try to put it with a plastic cover that does not affect much to its mass. or you can try to put it in oil (I am NOT sure abuot this one) Instead of oil, you can try with a non polar substance whose density is almost like water
ALSO...if you have the density and mass..you can only use the formula.

Density is mass/volume. Mass could be found by using scales. Volume could be found by lowering the candy in a beaker of water and measuring how far the water level rises.

Density is another property of matter that you can measure. A unit for density uses both a unit used for measuring mass and a unit used for measuring volume. For example, 1 cubic centimeter of water has a mass of 1 gram. Water’s density is 1 gram per cubic centimenter

You might beable to find the volume of the candy by putting it into a measured cylinder of oil. I dont think oil would have the same effect on the candy as water would.
Just a guess.

find it's mass on a mass scale
i don't know how u would find it's volume, but once u do, do density= mass/volume

DENSITY=MASS/VOLUME
