Which of the following is a physical intensive property?
-
A.
Volume
-
B.
Energy
-
C.
Density
-
D.
Mass
Correct Answer:
C. Density
Explanation:
An intensive property is a physical characteristic of a substance that remains constant regardless of the total amount of matter present. Unlike extensive properties such as mass, volume, and total energy, which increase or decrease based on sample size, intensive properties are intrinsic to the material itself. Density is a prime example of an intensive property because it is the ratio of mass to volume; as the quantity of a substance changes, both its mass and volume change proportionally, keeping the density the same. Other common intensive properties include temperature, boiling point, and color, all of which remain uniform whether you are measuring a small drop or a large quantity of a substance.
