Answer

$4.29\text{ kg}$

Work Step by Step

First we calculate the volume: $\text{Volume}=6.5\text{ cm}\times 9.0\text{ cm}\times 3.25\text{ cm}=190.125\text{ cm}^3$ Then we calculate the mass, using the density of Osmium $22.59\text{ g/cm}^3$: $\text{Mass}=190.125\text{ cm}^3\times 22.59\text{ g/cm}^3\approx 4294.93\text{ g}$ Convert to kilograms: $4294.93\text{ g}\div 1000\approx 4.29\text{ kg}$
