Which is intensive property?

Correct answer: D. All

  • A. oiling point
  • B. Molarity
  • C. Freezing point
  • D. All

Explanation

An extensive property of a system is that property which depends upon the amount of the substance or substances e.g. mass, volume, energy, entropy, Gibbs potential, enthalpy. Whereas intensive properties are those properties of a system, which are characteristic of the substance or substances present, and are independent of its mass. Temperature, pressure, density, heat capacity, boiling point etc. are intensive property.

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.
