Question

a student makes a giant pitcher of kool - aid by mixing half a cup of kool - aid powder with one and a half cups of water. she tastes it and likes the concentration, or amount of kool - aid powder per liquid ratio. she then pours it into a smaller cup and tastes it again. which of the following best describes how it will taste and why? o it will taste the different than the larger sample because concentration is an intensive property. it does not depend on the amount that she tastes. o it will taste the different than the larger sample because concentration is an extensive property. it does not depend on the amount that she tastes. o it will taste the same as the larger sample because concentration is an intensive property. it does not depend on the amount that she tastes. o it will taste the same as the larger sample because concentration is an extensive property. it does not depend on the amount that she tastes.

Explanation:

Intensive properties like concentration do not depend on the amount of substance. Since the concentration of the Kool - Aid is the same in the large pitcher and the smaller cup (same ratio of powder to water), it will taste the same.

Answer:

It will taste the same as the larger sample because concentration is an intensive property. It does not depend on the amount that she tastes.
