Question

Osmium is one of the densest elements known. What is its density if 2.72g has a volume of 0.121cm³?

Density:______g/cm³

a)22.48g/cm³
b)18.84g/cm³
c)22.51g/cm³
d) 19.50g/cm³

Answer 1

The density of osmium is 22.48g/cm³. Correct option is a.

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of osmium can be calculated by dividing its mass by its volume. In this case, the mass of osmium is given as 2.72g and the volume is given as 0.121cm³. So, the density is calculated as:

Density = Mass / Volume = 2.72g / 0.121cm³ = 22.48g/cm³.

Therefore, the correct answer is 22.48g/cm³ (option a).
