Question 8 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Chemistry in the Earth System

Which of these is an example of investigating an intensive property?

Answer
A
measuring the length of wire
B
recording the volume of water in a cylinder
C
determining if a rock is magnetic
D
weighing sand in a bag

Explanation

An intensive property does not depend on how much material is present. Magnetism is a characteristic of the rock that is not determined by its size or amount. Length, volume, and weight all depend on the amount or dimensions of the sample, so the correct choice is determining if a rock is magnetic.
