Question 4 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR

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

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

Explanation

An intensive property does not depend on how much material is present. Magnetism is an intensive property, so testing whether a rock is magnetic fits. Weight, length, and volume depend on the amount or size of the material, so they are not intensive properties here.
