INCORRECT

• Time Remaining: 07:13:58

If an intensive property is independent of the amount of the material being measured, which of the following is an example of an intensive property?

Mass

Mass is dependent on amount of material. Therefore, mass is an extensive property, not an intensive property.

Density

Density is a ratio of material present in a given volume. Water will have the same density whether in a bucket or in a cup. It is independent of the amount of material. Therefore, it is an intensive property.

Volume

MY ANSWER

Volume is dependent on the amount of material. Therefore, it is an extensive property, not an intensive property.

Length

Length is dependent on the amount of material. Therefore, it is an extensive property, not an intensive property.
