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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

density = mass/volume so density* volume = mass so calculate the volume of the block and multiply by the given density

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still dont get it

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

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)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

225.7?

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Grams?
