Which of the following is an example of an intensive property? Mass Pressure Volume Total energy

Solution

An extensive property is a property that changes when the size of the sample changes. Examples are mass, volume, length, and total charge.

An intensive property doesn\'t change when you take away some of the sample. Examples are temperature, color, hardness, melting point, boiling point, pressure, molecular weight, and density. Because intensive properties are sometimes characteristic of a particular material, they can be helpful as clues in identifying unknown substances.
