The density of \(\sf 1.00~\times~10^3~g\)of osmium is \(\sf~\rho = \dfrac{22.57~g}{cm^3}\). They want to know what the mass would be if you had the given volume of osmium. I think we can solve it by using the formula \(\rho = \dfrac{m}{v}\) \[\frac{22.57 g}{cm^3} = \frac{m_{\text{block}}}{(1.00~cm~\times~4.00~cm~\times~2.00~cm)}\]\[m_{\text{block}} = \frac{22.57~g}{cm^3} \cdot (1.00~\times~4.00~\times~2.00)~cm^3\]

Is that understandable, @kaylee_crps_strong ?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Yep.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Oh wait

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

It's not 2.00, it's meant to be 2.50*

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Typo.

mass of the block after my calculation turns out to be 226. g with the proper number of s.f remember, the cm\(^3\) cancels out.
