Question

instructions: classify each of the following as an intensive property i or an extensive property e.

1. mass
2. density
3. melting point
4. color
5. volume
6. length

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall:

• Intensive Property (I): Depends on substance, not amount (e.g., density, melting point, color).
• Extensive Property (E): Depends on amount of substance (e.g., mass, volume, length).

41. Mass

Mass depends on the amount of matter. So, it is an extensive property.

Answer:

E

42. Density

Density (\(
ho = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} \)) is intrinsic (same for any amount of the substance). So, it is an intensive property.
