Density Explained: Calculating the Density of an Osmium Cube
Chapter , Problem 1.30(choose chapter or problem)
(a) A cube of osmium metal 1.500 cm on a side has a mass of 76.31 g at \(25^\circ C\). What is its density in \(g/c{m^3}\) at this temperature?
(b) The density of titanium metal is \(4.51 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\) at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). What mass of titanium displaces 125.0 mL of water at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)?
(c) The density of benzene at \(15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is 0.8787g/mL. Calculate the mass of 0.1500 L of benzene at this temperature.

ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Density
The physical property of matter that illustrates the mass occupied by it in one unit volume is called density. It represents the tightness of the arrangement of particles within matter. Mathematically, density is calculated as:
\(Density = \dfrac{{Mass}}{{Volume}}\)
A substance with a high density has a very close packing of particles such that its mass per unit volume increases.
