Osmium metal, the densest element, has a density of 22.6 g/mL, while hydrogen, the least dense element, has a density of 8.99 e-5 g/mL. Calculate the volume occupied by 1.00 g of each element. How many times more dense is osmium than hydrogen?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. Volume of osmium = 0.044 mL

2. Volume of Hydrogen = 11123.47 mL

3. Osmium is 251390 times denser than hydrogen

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Density of osmium = 22.6 g/mL

Density of Hydrogen = 8.99×10¯⁵ g/mL

Mass of osmium = 1 g

Mass of Hydrogen = 1 g

1. Determination of the Volume of osmium.

Density of osmium = 22.6 g/mL

Mass of osmium = 1 g

Volume of osmium =?

Density = mass /volume

22.6 = 1 / volume

Cross multiply

22.6 × volume = 1

Divide both side by 22.6

Volume = 1 / 22.6

Volume of osmium = 0.044 mL

2. Determination of the Volume of Hydrogen.

Density of osmium = 8.99×10¯⁵ g/mL

Mass of osmium = 1 g

Volume of osmium =?

Density = mass /volume

8.99×10¯⁵ = 1 / volume

Cross multiply

8.99×10¯⁵ × volume = 1

Divide both side by 8.99×10¯⁵

Volume = 1 / 8.99×10¯⁵

Volume of Hydrogen = 11123.47 mL

3. Determination of the number of times osmium is denser than hydrogen.

Density of osmium (Dₒ) = 22.6 g/mL

Density of Hydrogen (Dₕ) = 8.99×10¯⁵ g/mL

Dₒ / Dₕ = 22.6 / 8.99×10¯⁵

Dₒ / Dₕ = 251390

Cross multiply

Dₒ = 251390 × Dₕ

Thus, osmium is 251390 times denser than hydrogen.
