For experimental calculation:

Mass the graphite sample with a scale (make sure to take into account the mass of whatever is holding the graphite sample - either zero the scale with the beaker/holder before adding the sample or subtract the mass of the beaker/holder from the total mass).

Measure volume by measuring water displacement when graphite sample is added to a measured amount of water.

Density = (Mass) / (Volume)

Is lead now named graphite?

Lead and graphite are two entirely different materials.Lead is a heavy and dense metal; it is soft, malleable, and melts at a low temperature. It is also toxic.Graphite occurs naturally and is a form of crystalline carbon.Though people often refer to a lead pencil, the lead in the pencil is in fact graphite.
