The properties which do not depend on mass of the substance are _____________?
Correct answer: C. intensive properties
- A. Extensive properties
- B. Colligative properties
- C. intensive properties
- D. None of These
Explanation
An intensive property does not depend on the amount or mass of a substance, for example temperature, pressure and density. Extensive properties such as mass and volume increase when the quantity of substance increases. Option a is the likely error because the word extensive may be incorrectly associated with a property covering the whole sample rather than one proportional to sample size.

About System, Surroundings and State Functions
A system is the part of the universe under study, while everything outside it is the surroundings; the boundary separates them. State functions such as pressure, temperature, volume, internal energy and enthalpy depend only on the state, unlike heat and work, which depend on the path taken.
