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

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 = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

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

              Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

                           = $\frac{2.72 g}{0.121 cm^{3}}$

                           = 22.47 $g/cm^{3}$

Thus, we can conclude that density of osmium is 22.47 $g/cm^{3}$.
