Question

Osmium is one of the densest elements known, what is its density if 2.72 g has a volume of 0.121 cm3?

Answer 1

mass / volume = density
2.72g/0.121mL = 22.5g/mL

1cm3 = 1mL

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is as follows.

mass = 2.72 g

volume = 0.121
`cm^(3)`

As the density is mass divided by volume.

Mathematically, Density =
`(mass)/(volume)`

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula and calculate the density as follows.

Density =
`(mass)/(volume)`

=
`(2.72 g)/(0.121 cm^(3))`

= 22.47
`g/cm^(3)`

Thus, we can conclude that density of osmium is 22.47
`g/cm^(3)`.
