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?

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.

practical process described pest part of scientific investigation.

because practical knowledge is powerful then therotical knowledge.

the atomic number will stay the same no matter how many electrons it has, so it doesn’t decrease nor increase. it’ll only change with a different number of protons
