step by step to how much space will a sample of iridium with a mass of 974g occupy? iridium has a density of 22.56g/mL

1 answer

To find out how much space (volume) a sample of iridium will occupy, we can use the formula that relates mass, density, and volume:

\[ \text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}} \]

Step 1: Identify the variables

  • Mass (m) = 974 g
  • Density (ρ) = 22.56 g/mL

Step 2: Plug the values into the formula

Using the formula for volume, we calculate:

\[ \text{Volume} = \frac{974 , \text{g}}{22.56 , \text{g/mL}} \]

Step 3: Perform the division

Now, we perform the calculation:

\[ \text{Volume} = \frac{974}{22.56} \approx 43.2 , \text{mL} \]

Conclusion

The sample of iridium with a mass of 974 g will occupy approximately 43.2 mL.
