Question

1. which set of properties, intensive or extensive, are based on the size of a sample?

Explanation:

To determine which properties (intensive or extensive) depend on the sample size, we recall the definitions:

• Extensive properties depend on the amount (size) of the substance/sample (e.g., mass, volume, energy).
• Intensive properties are independent of the sample size (e.g., density, temperature, color).

Thus, extensive properties are based on the size of the sample.

Answer:

Extensive properties are based on the size of a sample.
