Question

1. sep engage in argument a classmate claims that state of matter is an extensive property because it can vary with temperature. for example, hydrogen changes into a liquid at very low temperatures and high pressure, while iron can melt into a liquid at very high temperatures. do you agree with the classmate? write an argument to support your position.

Explanation:

State of matter is an intensive property. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of matter present and are characteristic of the substance itself. Changing the temperature to change the state of matter is a phase - change property of the substance, not related to the amount of the substance. So, the classmate is wrong.

Answer:

No, I do not agree with the classmate. State of matter is an intensive property, not an extensive property. It is a characteristic of the substance and does not depend on the quantity of the matter.
