Question

Osmium, is the densest metal found,has density of 22.6 g/cm 3. The mass of the block is 113 g. Find its volume. (1 mark for formula and 1 mark for showing calculation)

Answer 1

Volume = 5 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Density = 22.6 g/cm³

Mass = 113 grams

To find the volume;

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the equation;

`Density = (mass)/(volume)`

Making volume the subject of formula, we have;

`Volume = (mass)/(density)`

Substituting into the equation, we have:

`Volume = (113)/(22.6)`

Volume = 5 cm³
