Question

The density of osmium, which is the densest metal, is 22.57 g/cm^3. What is the mass of a block of osmium that measures 1.00 cm x 4.00 cm x 2.50 cm? Show your work.

Answer 1

density = mass/volume
so density* volume = mass

so calculate the volume of the block and multiply by the given density

Answer 2

I still dont get it

Answer 3

You know how to calculate the volume of a block right? L * W * H...then as Harkirat said, multiply the result by the density you were given.

Answer 4

So di i take 22.57g/cm^3 * 10cm?

Answer 5

Exactly :) Using V = L*W*H gives you how many cm^3 are in the block. Since you know that each cm^3 is 22.57g, you have to multiply it times V to get your final answer (in grams)

Answer 6

225.7?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

Grams?

Answer 9

Thank you!!!!!!!!
