It's really not that simple. Carbon comes in various different forms (coal, graphite, diamond) which do not all have the same density; furthermore, it would be useful to know what kind of comparison you want to make. Carbon is not as dense as iron. It is denser than air. I would say that it is moderately dense.

What is the density of iron nail?

Iron has a density of approximately 7.86g/cm3. Nails are not usually made from pure iron, but from soft steel, a mixture of iron and carbon. The density, however, is pretty much the same depending on the grade of steel used.

What are two reasons why density is a useful property identifying substances?

Density can tell you how "pure" a substance is. Since each substance has a specific density in its "pure" state, having no other substances in its composition, by measuring it density you can tell how pure the mineral or substance is, 99.9% pure gold.
