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.
