Density Question...should be Quick!?

Q: The density of diamond is 3.51 g/cm^3. What is the volume of 1 mole of carbon in this form?

My Approach:

3.51g/cm^3 x (1mol C/12 g C) = .293 mol/cm^3

1 mol/ .293 mol/cm^3 = 3.41 cm^3 <----my answer

I might be wrong about how may C's a diamond has...please someone confirm if im right!!! thanks appreciate it

1 mole of carbon = 12 g
(12 g)/(3.51g/cm^3) = 3.4188 cm^3

just divide mass by density
in molar tems
12/3.51
