Question

With a density of 22.59 g/cm3, Osmium has the highest density of any element on the periodic table. What is the volume (in cm3) of 158 g of osmium

Answer 1

As we know that formula for density is

   Density= mass/volume

given -

mass of osmium =158g

density =22.59 g/cm³

^so,

   ^{22.59 = 158/v}

   ^{v = 158/22.59}

   v= 6.994 cm³

^{so, volume of 158g osmium will be 6.99 cm3 or 7 cm3}
